Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and one of the most common questions from trekkers is what kind of accommodation and toilet facilities are available on the mountain. At Rosh Expeditions, we believe that comfort and hygiene are just as important as the trekking experience itself. That’s why we carefully design our climbing packages—whether classic or luxury—to ensure that every climber feels well taken care of from the base to the summit.

Accommodation on Mount Kilimanjaro

Accommodation depends on the route chosen:

  • Camping Routes (Machame, Lemosho, Rongai, Shira, Umbwe, and Northern Circuit):
    Trekkers sleep in high-quality, all-weather mountain tents provided by Rosh Expeditions. Our team sets up the tents at each campsite, ensuring you have a clean, secure, and comfortable place to rest after a long day of hiking. Warm sleeping bags and thick sleeping mats are also included to keep you cozy in the cold mountain nights.

  • Hut Accommodation (Marangu Route):
    The Marangu Route is the only route that offers shared hut accommodations. Climbers stay in dormitory-style wooden huts with bunk beds and basic mattresses. This option is simpler but appeals to trekkers who prefer not to camp.

At Rosh Expeditions, we go the extra mile to provide spacious private sleeping tents for all of our private climbs. Each climber has ample space to stretch, relax, and enjoy some personal comfort in the wilderness.

Toilet Options on Mount Kilimanjaro

Public toilets are available at most campsites, but they are basic pit latrines, often shared by many climbers. For trekkers who value cleanliness and privacy, this can be challenging. That’s why Rosh Expeditions includes private portable toilets in all of our private Kilimanjaro hiking packages.

  • Classic Kilimanjaro Climbing Experience:
    Every private trek with Rosh Expeditions includes a private toilet tent with a flushable chemical toilet. This ensures a cleaner, more hygienic, and private experience compared to the public facilities on the mountain.

  • Luxury Kilimanjaro Climb:
    For those who choose our luxury packages, we elevate the experience even further. Along with private toilets, we provide hot portable shower options at select camps. This means you can freshen up after a long trekking day, making the climb more comfortable and enjoyable.

Why Choose Rosh Expeditions

Our goal is to combine adventure with comfort. While Kilimanjaro is a challenging climb, we believe your basic needs—sleep, hygiene, and rest—should be fully taken care of. Whether you choose our classic package with private toilets or our luxury climb with showers and upgraded camping facilities, you can trust that Rosh Expeditions provides the highest standards of service on Africa’s highest mountain.
