Four-season sleeping tents
Four-season Mountain Hardwear Trango 3 or Trango 4 tents, or The North Face tents, used on camping itineraries depending on availability. They shield you from wind, rain and cold. A particular model cannot be guaranteed for every booking.
Sleeping mattresses
Approximately 1.5-inch-thick sleeping mattresses for camping itineraries. A personal inflatable sleeping pad can be rented separately if you prefer extra cushioning.
Dining / mess tents
Dining and mess tents are included on camping itineraries, providing a sheltered space for meals and evening relaxation after a day of trekking.
Camp tables & chairs
Camp tables and chairs for relaxing and dining after a day of trekking.
Eating utensils
Plates, cups and cutlery so you can enjoy hot meals prepared by your crew.
Emergency oxygen (2L and 3L cylinders)
Emergency oxygen is carried in 2L and 3L cylinders for emergency use, not as a routine summit aid. Guides assess symptoms and wellbeing alongside pulse-oximeter readings. The number of cylinders, pressure, usable supply and treatment duration are not stated and should not be inferred.
Pulse oximeters
Finger devices used to measure oxygen saturation. Readings are one of several ways guides monitor how you are coping with altitude.

Canvas stretchers
Canvas stretchers to carry a climber safely and comfortably during an emergency descent.

Carried by guides for daily contact between camps and with our office base in Moshi. Coverage depends on location and conditions and cannot be guaranteed at every point.

Equipment Provided by Exuberant
On camping itineraries we provide the tents, mattresses, dining and mess tents, utensils and safety equipment that support your climb.

What Exuberant
provides.
On camping itineraries we provide the tents, mattresses, dining and mess tents, utensils and safety equipment that support your climb. Hut-based routes such as Marangu use park hut accommodation, where sleeping and dining take place in the huts. This is owner-supplied equipment information, not independent certification.
Equipment
Purpose
Included or optional
Camping expeditions use four-season Mountain Hardwear Trango 3 or Trango 4 tents, or The North Face tents, depending on availability; a particular model cannot be guaranteed for every booking. Emergency oxygen (2L and 3L cylinders) is carried for emergency use, not as a routine summit aid. Portable stretchers, two-way radios and mobile communications are available; radio and mobile coverage depends on location and conditions and cannot be guaranteed at every point. Mountain equipment is inspected each season and before climbs. Fresh-food resupply takes place on every trek. Confirm current inventory and arrangements with our team before booking.

How the safety
equipment is used.
Emergency oxygen, pulse oximeters and first-aid kits support your guide’s decisions on the mountain. They are emergency tools, not a substitute for a slow, well-paced ascent.
Safety & medical guidance
Emergency oxygen is carried for emergency use, not as a routine summit aid. Guides assess symptoms and wellbeing alongside pulse-oximeter readings. When necessary, the priority is to stop ascending, arrange descent and obtain medical assistance.
Personal medicines:
discuss personal medicines, including any altitude medication, with your clinician before travel. Tell the team about relevant medical conditions and allergies. Guides can advise when and how to take your own medication, but cannot prescribe or administer medicines.
For the full altitude-sickness prevention and response guidance, see our
page.
Comfort add-ons
by advance arrangement.
These optional extras can make camp life more comfortable. All are arranged in advance and confirmed in your booking documents — availability depends on logistics, water and conditions.
Shared long-drop toilets are provided at most camps on the mountain. They are basic facilities used by many climbers; a portable toilet is the comfortable alternative for those who prefer privacy. At Crater Camp there are no shared facilities, so waste is packed out using appropriate systems.
Single-room & single-tent supplements:
prefer your own room or tent? A hotel single-room supplement costs US$80 per night, and a single-occupancy mountain tent costs an additional US$30 per mountain night. See our
for the full detail.
Not sure which equipment applies to your route, or want to arrange optional extras? Our team can confirm what is included and what to reserve before you travel.
