Tastes Of Kilimanjaro

Experience the Culinary Delights of the Kilimanjaro Climb! Food might not be the first thing that comes to mind when considering scaling the mighty Kilimanjaro. Yet, getting on this mountainous journey, one quickly realizes that the culinary delights encountered are as integral to the expedition as each ascending step. With decades of expertise in curating exceptional mountaineering adventures, Simba Safaris guarantees a gastronomic journey that perfectly complements the physical trek. Every climber is treated to a diverse and nutritionally rich menu, meticulously crafted using locally sourced ingredients. Our dedicated chefs prioritize hygiene and taste, ensuring that meals become memorable milestones on your ascent.

Your Daily Kilimanjaro Menu

We understand the essence of a well-fed climber. From our vast experience and feedback from our trekkers, we've crafted daily menus to satisfy your energy levels and taste buds. Here's a sneak peek:

  • Lunch on the Go
  • Typically packed for convenience, expect sandwiches, boiled eggs, a portion of chicken, fresh fruit, and a refreshing cold drink.
  • Afternoon Treat
  • Post your day’s journey, indulge in tea with biscuits, peanuts, and the all-time favourite – salted popcorn.
  • Dinner Feast
  • Start with a hearty soup, moving on to a main dish featuring chicken or meat, vegetable sauce, cabbage, and a choice of rice, pasta, or potatoes. Conclude with a serving of fresh fruit.
  • Trust us when we say our offerings might make you forget you're high up on a mountain and not dining in a cosy restaurant!

    We share the Heart of Tanzania with every Guest and bring its warmth to you – the adventurer!.

    Kilimanjaro Foods & Hydration Essentials

    At Simba Safaris, we recognize the unique challenges Kilimanjaro presents to the body. That's why:

    • Special Dietary Needs?
    • Just inform us beforehand, and our chefs will cater to your unique needs. Those with stricter diets might consider packing specialized "energy" foods.
    • Importance of Carbs
    • Research emphasizes a carbohydrate-rich diet's benefits at higher altitudes. Carbohydrates can help alleviate symptoms of AMS (acute mountain sickness) by improving ventilation and blood oxygenation. As altitude affects appetite, carbs become essential.
    • Hydration Matters
    • We ensure climbers get water boiled, filtered, and purified. Hydration is crucial for acclimatization. Aim for 3-4 litres daily, supplemented with electrolyte formulas. Hot drinks and fruit juices at camps will keep you refreshed and hydrated.

    Scale the heights of Kilimanjaro with us and savour an unparalleled culinary journey. With every step you take, we guarantee a meal experience to match your adventure. Are you eager to experience the tastes of Kilimanjaro's heights? Join Simba Safaris for an ascent you won't forget!
