 | We recommend Petzl head torches....
 | Petzl Myo 3 Headlamp
The Petzl Myo 3 Headlamp is great for Kili with a long-range beam (100m) and efficient LED lighting for smaller ranges (15m). |
| Full Moon Summit Night
Summiting on or around a full moon will help you to see during the night without relying so much on your headtorch.
The full moon is also spectacular at above 5000m.
The dates listed are the dates for the full moon. If you wish to summit on a full moon night, you will need to work out when to start your trek (usually 3-5 days earlier) so as to summit on one of these dates.
