Kilimanjaro Camp
Kilimanjaro Camp refers to the various campsites along the popular trekking routes to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. These campsites offer a place for climbers to rest, eat, and sleep during their multi-day ascent of the mountain. The number and names of the camps vary depending on the route chosen, but generally, there are multiple camps at different altitudes along the way to the summit.
The camps provide basic amenities such as toilets, water, and sometimes even sheltered huts or tents. Climbers on guided tours typically have a support crew that sets up and breaks down the camps and provides meals and equipment. The campsites are strategically located to help climbers acclimatise to the altitude, with recommended trekking distances and elevation gains each day.
Overall, the Kilimanjaro Camps have normally added on the Kilimanjaro Climbing Packages. It is an essential part of the climbing experience and provides a comfortable and safe resting place for climbers on their journey to the summit.
