Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is an incredible adventure — and staying clean and healthy is key to enjoying every step of the journey. At Kili Vista Expeditions, we take hygiene seriously, from camp sanitation to food preparation, so you can focus on reaching the summit with confidence.
Our team, led by expert guide John, follows strict cleanliness protocols to ensure your trek is not only successful but also safe and comfortable.
At high altitudes, your immune system works harder, making you more vulnerable to:
Diarrhea or foodborne illnesses
Dehydration
Reduced energy and acclimatization difficulties
Higher chance of early descent
That’s why we go above and beyond to keep everything clean — from your plate to your tent.
We believe great food begins with perfect cleanliness.
Fresh meals cooked on-site (never pre-packaged)
Chefs wear gloves, aprons, and maintain clean workspaces
Utensils, pots, and plates are washed with hot, soapy water
Clean water should be boiled before cooking or drinking
Hand-washing and sanitizer are provided before all meals
Separate washing area for dishes and food prep
Climbers always say:
“So much food — all homemade and delicious!”
“We never got sick — even with such rich meals.”
All drinking water is purified using boiling and chlorine tablets
Bottles refilled daily with boiled water, tea, or coffee
Hot drinks always available at camp
You may bring a personal filter (optional)
💡 Tip: Start every morning with a warm drink to boost digestion and energy.
Even at high altitude, we maintain excellent camp hygiene:
Private toilet tent at every campsite
Toilet paper + ziplock bags provided
Clean ground mat inside the toilet tent
Sleeping tents set on a clean, leveled groundsheet
Daily disinfection of the toilet area
All waste packed out responsibly
Traveler Review:
“I was surprised how clean everything felt — even the toilet tent!”
You won’t have showers on Kilimanjaro — but you can stay fresh:
Use biodegradable wet wipes for face and body
Change socks daily
Use a quick-dry towel
Hand sanitizer before meals, after toilet
Brush teeth with purified water
Wash small clothing items when possible
Avoid cotton — it stays wet and gets cold
Pack these essentials for a clean and comfortable trek:
Biodegradable wet wipes
Hand sanitizer (small bottle)
Toothbrush + toothpaste
Travel-size biodegradable soap
Small microfiber towel
Nail clippers
Ziplock bags for used wipes or laundry
Lip balm (wind protection)
Roll of toilet paper (compact)
👉 We provide hot water every day — you just bring the items.
Kili Vista Expeditions follows Leave No Trace principles:
All trash carried down and disposed of in Moshi
No single-use plastic bags allowed
Dedicated, clean toilet tents for environmental protection
Campsites kept clean at all times
Waste sealed and removed from the mountain
You climb sustainably — we ensure the mountain stays clean for future generations.
“I always tell my climbers: Stay clean, stay healthy, stay strong.
We cook fresh food every day, wash everything properly, and keep camp tidy.
The climbers who succeed are the ones who look after their body — even small routines like washing hands make a big difference.”
