1-Day Kilimanjaro Hiking Adventure

• A transfer from the airport can be arranged for an extra cost.

Marangu Gate (1,800m/5,905ft) to Mandara Hut (2,743m/9,000ft) Elevation Gain: 915 meters, 3,000 feet

You'll be picked up from the hotel and depart for the trip to Marangu Gate, the gateway to Mount Kilimanjaro. It's only an hour away, but the scenery will capture you — coffee and banana fields, past charming Marangu hamlet, with Kilimanjaro rising magnificently before you. The ridged route is first narrow as it winds through the rainforest. The canopy above is alive with songs and weird rustlings —might it be a colobus? Mongoose may scurry ahead of you.

You'll also encounter fatigued hikers on their way down from the peak. The journey to Mandara Hut takes around three hours, so take a break and eat a wonderful lunch at the Hut before continuing to the short but strenuous walk to the Maundi Crater. After taking in the scenery, you'll climb back down to the Marangu Gate, where our van will be ready to take you back to Moshi, exhausted but delighted. You will be dropped off in Moshi.
