What to eat on Mt. Kilimanjaro

Staying Hydrated

Keeping hydrated is crucial in the Kilimanjaro acclimatizing process – and you will get dehydrated easily not just from walking each day but by breathing in the air at higher altitudes. So we ensure that there is always a plentiful supply of treated and filtered water in the camp each morning/ night and at the lunch stops also. Depending on your physiology you will need to take in between 3-4 litres of water each day of Kilimanjaro trekking. Which is a lot of water? So many people find that taking electrolytes or flavoured cordial helps to keep the taste buds excited. There will also be hot drinking water at the camp eat morning/ evening as well as the lunch stop with a selection of teas, coffee and hot chocolate.
