Food Menu for Kilimanjaro Climb
Your Kilimanjaro food menu determines how successful you will be climbing Kilimanjaro.
Kilimanjaro Food Menu
Kilimanjaro food menu is an important issue to discuss before climbing Kilimanjaro. Kilimanjaro Climbing requires a healthy food menu including protein, carbohydrates and fats for both the client and our entire Kilimanjaro trekking team. During your Kilimanjaro trek, our professional chefs will prepare three hot meals each day. That is breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Kilimanjaro’s food menu is always prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. All fruits, vegetables, seafood, beef and chicken are purchased from the local market in Moshi. For all treks over 5 days, we re-supply the camp/hut with fresh food for our use.
