This Mount Kilimanjaro Day Hike is ideal for travelers who want a real taste of the mountain without committing to a full multi-day summit trek.
You will hike through the lush tropical rainforest on the Marangu Route, enjoy wildlife sightings, and reach the famous Mandara Hut at 2,700 meters.
After breakfast, drive from Moshi to the Marangu Gate (1 hr). Your guide handles registration and gives a briefing before starting the hike.
Walk through beautiful rainforest filled with birds, monkeys, and towering trees. Enjoy fresh air and great scenery as you ascend steadily upwards.
Reach Mandara Hut (2,700m) where you’ll rest, explore, and take photos. Optional visit to the nearby Maundi Crater for views of Kenya (weather permitting).
Enjoy a hot packed lunch prepared by our team while relaxing in the mountain atmosphere.
Hike back down through the forest, arriving at the gate in the afternoon, followed by a drive back to Moshi.
