You leave Moshi/Arusha early in the morning after breakfast towards Marangu Gate, ready for a day hike. The journey takes approximately 1 hour. After completing registration at the gate, begin your Kilimanjaro day hike. As you trek to Mandara Hut along a narrow trail through the rainforest of Mount Kilimanjaro, you will meet various climbers descending from the top. At Mandara Hut you will have your lunch and the option to take a short walk to Maundi Crater. The views east over Taveta and north west to Mawenzi Peak are stunning on a clear day, making the short hike well worth it. You will then have the opportunity to take photos once you reach Maundi Crater before descending to Marangu Gate. Our vehicles will be waiting for you at Marangu Gate to take you back to Moshi/Arusha.
