The above shows a fairly typical menu for your trip on the mountain and on safari.

We will have an expedition cook accompany us for the duration of the trek and can also be provided with meals in our hotel (B & B included in price). You will be provided with fresh fruits and vegetables for the first few days on Kili. After that much of your food will come from tins and packets. The food is of a good standard and will be prepared for you. If you have any dietary restrictions please let us know before your trek begins.

For lunch, in addition to the above, you are likely to have some extra items eg biscuits, nuts, small fruit drink.

Camp staff will heat all water to boiling point before giving it to us. However, we request that all clients take their own water purification tablets to add to their water before drinking.

It is a good idea to bring some cereal bars, dried fruits (such as apricots) or snack bars to boost your energy level whilst on the mountain.

In the event that you suffer a stomach upset we recommend that you take Imodium (or Lomotil). Eat lightly, take as much safe non-alcoholic liquid as you can and take Dioralyte which will help to re-hydrate you.

Rigorous personal hygiene and common sense should help in avoiding any gastric problems.
