Best Answer

The park requires climbers to go with a certified guide, at least. Most climbers will hire a whole team to help them, mostly porters who carry the gear. Climbing the mountain takes 4-7 days depending on the route, and the climate ranges from tropical rainforest to frozen alpine desert, so a lot of gear is necessary.

Climbers need camping gear including tent, ground pad, and sleeping bag that is good to -10 degrees C. A means to transport and purify water is necessary; usually porters will take care of this for you. Clothing must include thermal underwear for sleeping at night, and layers for the daytime. Temperatures approaching the summit are well below freezing and can be windy, so winter clothing including coat, warm hat, and gloves are necessary.

To climb the mountain, you also need a passport and a visa to visit Tanzania. You will probably need vaccinations. You need a guide. You need the proper registration forms filled out and fees paid with park officials (again, your guide will take care of this).
