Fresh Soup
Date: January 29th, 2006 | No Comments
The food you will eat the most on Kilimanjaro is most likely soup. It’s always a great start to the lunch or dinner and helps warm your body. It’s pretty good for the first 3 days, but by day 6 and 7, it can get kind of old. The cooks on Kilimanjaro are great [read more]

Moshi Tourist Reviews
Date: January 28th, 2006 | No Comments
Moshi is the town at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and is usually the starting point for planning most Kilimanjaro trips. It has a good network of hotels, food, markets, Internet Cafes and is just big enough to keep you excited. It’s a much better base than Arusha, as Moshi is laid back, easy and [read more]
Good Ponchos

I can’t stress the importance of having a very good poncho on Kilimanjaro. When a downpour starts, which is usually on the first few days, you should be able to quickly put on a poncho, and it should be able to cover your day pack, which generally is holding your water, lunch, and a few [read more]

I know we have discussed this before in the article ” Taking a Whiz” but we can’t stress enough the amount that you should, and will, urinate on Mt. Kilimanjaro. It’s part of the process so just accept it. Both men and women should become very comfortable peeing around strangers, and at all points during [read more]
