FOOD IS FUEL ON MOUNT KILIMANJARO

To give you the very best chance of success on one of our Mount Kilimanjaro treks in Tanzania, we select a suitable route based on in-depth discussions with yourself coupled with our personal expertise, we consider all on-going aspects of each trek on the ground, as it happens. This includes perhaps most importantly, your nutritional needs.

We are proud to say that all the meals you consume whilst on a Sandgrouse Travel & Expeditions trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro are devised by a professional nutritionist, and prepared by specially-trained local chefs to be nutritious, calorific and delicious. 

Our custom designed food transport methods and regular mountain resupplies keep food perfectly fresh and allow us to change the menu each day, even at 15,000ft above sea level.
