Transport:
Transport to the Njari Lodge and Campsite is arranged when the booking is made either from the Kilimanjaro International Airport or from the nearest town Moshi. A 4 wheel drive is needed to get up to the campsite.

Food and drinks:
This campsite is very remote from the nearest town, Moshi. Fruit, bread and drinks are brought up from the town. However we encourage our clients to buy local products such as eggs and vegetables from the neighbors to help boost their income. Traditional meals which would include a meat stew, rice, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, avocados, beans, ugali(stiff corn porridge), roast bananas and sweet bananas and oranges to finish can be provided by a local family.

At the campsite the guides would provide food and hot water for you. There is no electricity but the guides will provide kerosene lamps (very romantic!).
