What is the menu on the mountain (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)?
We offer carefully planned, highly nutritious meals prepared by trained chefs on the mountain. Food quality is one of the highest praises we receive. It is not just about the great food; it is also about getting the right food during such a demanding climb. As a climbing company (as opposed to a safari or light trekking company), we understand what and how people need to eat while in the mountains. We are happy to give you an outline of our menu plan. The quality of our expedition food is well known for all our expeditions, but is something special on Kilimanjaro climbs.
Resupplying during our trip allows us to provide lots of fresh and whole-grain cooked foods.
We accommodate all kinds of diets, from vegetarian & vegan menus available, to gluten-free, as well as any religious restrictions or allergies. We do our best with other special dietary situations. The following are a sample of our menu items:
