Why your Kilimanjaro Food Menu is so important?

What you eat as your Kilimanjaro Food is what immensely impacts your hiking success rate on Mt Kilimanjaro. The process of Mount Kilimanjaro Hike is a long one ranging from 5 to at least 9 days. And a day’s hike itself may range from 5 to 8 hours. This means the food you consume needs to provide you with enough energy to help you reach the peak. Many hikers throughout their journey keep munching on snacks that they have carried during their hike.

What is offered on your Kilimanjaro Food Menu?

So what do you eat on Kilimanjaro? We are often asked about the Kilimanjaro Food Menu that is provided during the hike.

Therefore we have prepared a list of your Sample Food on Kilimanjaro which is irrespective of any dietary restrictions:

  • In Breakfast you can expect toast, porridge, cereal, sausages, & fruit
  • In your Lunch menu vegetables, soup, rice, casserole, chicken, sandwiches, chips, and more are included.
  • We provide breads, pasta, vegetables, soup, stews, rice and chips in dinner.

What are the Dietary Requirements for Kilimanjaro?

In case of dietary restrictions regarding your Kilimanjaro Food you need to inform it to us during the time of booking itself. We arrange special menu for vegan diets, for vegetarians or people with any food allergies especially. You will be provided with hot water for teas, coffee & hot chocolate every day after your Mount Kilimanjaro Hike!

Staying Hydrated is Essential

As much as your Kilimanjaro Food is important staying hydrated during the hike is also crucial. This helps you to acclimatise well during the hike as it may get difficult each day to adapt to the changing climates on the mountain and breathing in the higher altitudes with less oxygen. Serac Adventures is always concerned about the health of its hikers. We are ever ready with plentiful supply of water that keeps our hikers hydrated throughout. You at least require 3-4 litres of water a day during your hike. But too much of it is also dangerous. So listen to the instructions of your crew and proceed accordingly.

Serac Adventures’ Guides and Porters Support you throughout the Journey     

Serac Adventures’ Kilimanjaro Hiking Guide makes it a top priority to keep you safe throughout the hike. They even provide you with valuable Mt Kilimanjaro Facts that are essential for every hiker and helps them understand the physiological and environmental changes in themselves and their environment respectively.

Your Kilimanjaro Porters are the real heroes. They not just carry your luggage to the top but also set up your tents, cook your meals, provide you with warm water to clean up after the hike and so much more. Without them the hike to this challenging summit would be very difficult. So it recommended providing them with some Kilimanjaro Tipping which is customary and is a gesture of gratitude.
