Should you rent equipment?

Climbing to the Roof of Africa does mean that you need a whole range of equipment.

Make the decision to rent on whether you are likely to trek to high altitude again. If so it is possibly more economic to buy good quality equipment and use it again and again. If you believe that Kilimanajro may be your only high altitude trek then it is worth looking into rental opportunities. Climb operators usually offer a service to include: duvet jacket, sleeping bag, and ground mat.  This means that you don't have to carry the stuff out to Africa with you. You can also rent equipment in this country before you head off to Africa. This means that you can check it thoroughly before taking it with you. Trek Hire UK offer a good service in the UK.
