THE WILD SPRINGS/Nairobi Mountain Hiking Gear Store DIFFERENCE
We don't just sell gear — we use it. Our team includes mountaineers who have:
- Summited Mt Kenya by all three main routes
- Climbed Kilimanjaro multiple times

- Travelled the high passes of Europe, Asia, and Patagonia

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Do you stock gear for Mt Kenya specifically?
A: Yes. We have full checklists for the Sirimon, Chogoria, and Naro Moru routes. We can outfit you completely in one visit. Free consultancy on what you actually need.
Q: Can I rent gear instead of buying?
A: We focus on sales, not rentals. For one-trip gear (sleeping bags, tents, jackets), we recommend buying from our gently used range — premium brands at rental-level prices that you keep forever.

A: Yes — we ship to Arusha, Moshi, Dar es Salaam, and other Tanzanian destinations. 5–10 business days via international couriers.
Q: Are your gently used items safe to use?
A: Every used item is inspected for wear, function, and cleanliness. Boots are checked for sole integrity, jackets for waterproofing, sleeping bags for warmth and zip function. We sell only what we'd use ourselves.
Q: Do you offer free delivery?
A: Free delivery on orders above KSh 8,000 within Nairobi. Other thresholds for upcountry — see your cart at checkout.
