Photo of tanzanian porters carrying bags on the head
Thank you porters!

One key of success of Kilimanjaro climbing is the porters team. In addition to carrying our bags and food, they take care of setting the tents. Every morning, the weightload is fairly divided between all the porters, the maximum weight being 20kg. Each porter has its way of carrying bags but the african way is definitively the most commonly used (bags on the head).
