African Safaris Hub Kilimanjaro

Well-equipped climbers in cold-weather gear high on Mount Kilimanjaro

Gear rental

Rent your Kilimanjaro gear — without the cost of buying it

Quality mountain equipment for hire, sized and checked for the climb. Grab only what you’re missing and travel light, from sleeping bags to summit-night down jackets.

24 items available to rent

Rent, don’t buy

Serious mountain gear you’ll use once, at a fraction of the price

A full Kilimanjaro kit — down jacket, waterproofs, sleeping bag, boots, poles — can cost hundreds of dollars to buy new. If you’re not a regular high-altitude climber, most of it will sit in a cupboard afterwards.

Renting on the ground means you fly with less luggage, avoid the outlay, and still summit in properly warm, weather-ready equipment. Everything is quality-checked and available in a range of sizes.

How rental works

Simple to arrange, ready when you arrive

Tell us what you need

Send us your list when you book your climb, along with your height and shoe size so we can set everything aside for you.

We check & size it

Every item is inspected, cleaned, and matched to your size before your climb, so nothing lets you down at altitude.

Collect at your briefing

Pick up your gear at the pre-climb briefing, try it on, and start the mountain fully equipped for the cold and the summit.

Good to know

Rented gear that’s ready for the summit

All rental equipment is quality-checked, cleaned, and available in a range of sizes — so you can travel light and still face the cold and summit night in properly warm, weather-ready kit.
