Gear Up with EaseRent Kilimanjaro Gear
Renting eliminates the need to purchase expensive gear or transport heavy equipment across continents, ideal for international climbers arriving in Arusha. By renting, you save $200-$500 compared to buying new gear, with items like sleeping bags and jackets costing as low as $10/day.
Equip Yourself for the Ultimate Climb
We partner with reputable Arusha suppliers to provide well-maintained, clean gear, including brands suited for high-altitude treks (e.g., North Face, Marmot). Each item is inspected, sanitized, and replaced if worn, ensuring 100% functionality in 2024 guest feedback. Our team assists with sizing during pre-climb briefings to guarantee a comfortable fit. Tip: Request a fitting session upon arrival to test gear like boots and jackets, ensuring no surprises on the trail.
