Rental Gear

We provide high quality like new rental gear at reasonable prices. We recommend renting gear whenever possible. In addition to saving money, renting gear will lessen your baggage as sleeping bags, pads and down jackets will probably be the largest items that you will bring to Kilimanjaro.

Please note that although we try to maintain a large supply of rental gear, that during our busy months of September-October and January-February wae may run out of down jackets and sleeping bags. So please reserve these items early if you intend to rent them from us.
