Upon arrival at the airport, you'll be warmly welcomed and taken to Marangu Gate, where you'll complete necessary registrations before starting your climb. Situated at 1879 meters above sea level, Marangu Gate marks the beginning of your adventure. Mandara Hut lies 8 kilometers away, totaling a 16-kilometer round trip, usually taking 3 to 4 hours each way. The trail from Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut winds through dense rainforest, offering sightings of Blue Monkeys and Black and White Colobus Monkeys if you're fortunate. A short 15-minute walk from Mandara leads to Maundi Crater, providing breathtaking views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks, as well as the Kenyan side with Lake Chala and Jipe. The crater formed due to insufficient pressure during an eruption, resulting in its unique shape.
