Where Will I Sleep on Kilimanjaro?

There are two primary choices for sleeping on Mount Kilimanjaro. You will be staying in tents on the mountain if you are traveling any other route than Marangu. Your porters will carry these up, and your agency or operator will supply them. Avoid the temptation to spend the night somewhere else, such in one of the many caverns along the way, as park officials mandate that you set up your tent only at approved campsites.

You are not allowed to camp on the Marangu Route. Rather, every hiker rests in cottages located along the trail. It may seem a little awkward and even frightening at first to spend the night in a big room full of strangers. However, the majority of people rapidly adjust to the experience.

These huts often include dormitory-style sleeping quarters, with four to twenty beds per room. Although there are campers along this path, they are trekkers who ascended via the Rongai path and are currently descending on Marangu.

It should be noted that although many of the campsites on Kilimanjaro are referred to as “huts,” they do not actually provide sleeping quarters. The rangers dwell in these green shacks while they are assigned to a campsite, hence the name. Trekkers could once spend the night in these huts, but that is no longer the case.

In conclusion, accommodations are huts along the Marangu Route and tents at approved campsites elsewhere.

What do you wear to sleep on Kilimanjaro?

Choosing the right sleepwear for a Kilimanjaro expedition is crucial to ensure comfort and warmth in the varying climates encountered during the trek. Given the significant temperature drops, especially at higher altitudes, it is recommended to dress in layers. A moisture-wicking base layer is essential to keep sweat away from the skin, helping maintain warmth. On top of the base layer, a thermal insulating layer provides additional warmth, and a good-quality, cold-rated sleeping bag is necessary for insulation during the chilly nights. Wearing socks and a beanie can also contribute to preserving body heat.

Additionally, it’s advisable to have a neck gaiter or balaclava to protect the face and neck. The choice of sleepwear should be adaptable, allowing for adjustments as temperatures fluctuate throughout the night. By carefully selecting and layering sleepwear, climbers can enhance their overall comfort and ensure a restful night’s sleep on the slopes of Kilimanjaro.

I’m beyond satisfied with my lemosho trek together with Mighty Africa Xpeditions We did the 8 day Lemosho trek with Mighty Africa Xpeditions and we had the most incredible time. Our guide Damian, Joel and Jackson took amazing care of us, the porters were great fun and impressed us with their strength and speed everyday and the food was really tasty every breakfast, lunch and dinner. Once in a lifetime experience and I wouldn't hesitate to do it with Mighty Africa Xpeditions again. You really feel part of the family by the end of the trip.

Mighty Africa Xpeditions was professional and delivered what they promised. We fully recommend using their services. We were a group of 6 people, did a couple of days of safari at Tarangire National Park and Kilimanjaro trekking via Lemosho route (8 days). Everything has been terrific and ran very smoothly! Sarah at the office, it has been great during the booking process. She replied to all our questions with patience and competence. A staff Member showed up at the hotel with our trekking head guide the day before departing for the trekking for the briefing and for checking all our equipment. Colman, our head guide and Sadiki, the assistant guide: they have been professional, very friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond and I'm 100% sure that listening to their advice has been the main key to reaching the summit!, Summiting the mountain was one of the most difficult things I have ever done but with the support of the guides and porters I was able to make it to the summit. It was one of the best experiences of my life and one I won't ever forget.
