This page can be used to refer guests to
see what they have on a climb. Summits Africa runs 3 different
Kilimanjaro & Mt Kenya Camping Specifications. Price varies
accordingly as the more luxurious the trip the more weight
is carried and hence more porters and crew.
NOTE: even the most pampered guests normally
do not expect to head up Kilimanjaro on the "VIP"
specification and tend to opt for the "Luxury" specification
instead.

*On trips that do not sleep in the crater
a portable altitude chamber is omitted unless requested by
the agent
**For groups of 1 or 2 on the lightweight
spec a combination sleeping and mess tent is used (i.e. 1
tent) rather than having a seperate mess tent.
