On Mount Kilimanjaro, the food available to climbers is surprisingly delicious.

Guided Group Treks: Ultra Adventures trips are group treks where a team of guides, porters, and cooks accompany you. In such cases, the food is typically prepared by the guides company’s cook team.

Food Quality: The quality of food is relatively impressive, with good quality, tasty, nutritious meals.

Meals: The typical meals on Kilimanjaro include a combination of carbohydrates, proteins, and vegetables to provide the necessary energy for the challenging ascent. Breakfasts may include items like porridge, eggs, bread, and fruits. Lunch often consists of sandwiches, fruits, and energy bars. Dinners generally involve a soup starter, followed by a main course like pasta, rice, or potatoes with meat or vegetarian options. Desserts are not common, but hot beverages like tea or coffee are always served.

Special Diets: If you have specific dietary requirements or preferences (e.g., vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free), ultra adventures can accommodate these requests if notified in advance. However, the options may be more limited compared to regular meals.

Drinking Water: Staying hydrated is crucial while trekking. Drinking water is typically provided and is either boiled or purified with tablets or filters to make it safe for consumption.

Snacks: It’s a good idea to bring some of your favourite snacks or energy bars to supplement your meals, especially if you have specific dietary preferences or simply want some variety.

Keep in mind that due to the high altitudes and the challenging nature of the climb, your body’s appetite may change, and you may not feel as hungry as usual. However, it’s essential to eat enough to maintain your energy levels and support your body during the climb. Ultra adventures will arrange quality, varied.
