• Kilimanjaro National Park - In the morning, guides will greet guests at their hotel for a brief orientation before transporting them to Marangu Gate (1,860 m/6,046 ft), the eastern entrance of Kilimanjaro National Park. After completing the necessary paperwork, including climbing permits and rescue service registration, the group will commence the trek to Mandara Hut (2,700 m/8,858 ft). The trail leads through a lush rainforest where rain showers are frequent, so carrying a raincoat is highly recommended.

Upon arrival at the hut, guests will enjoy their packed lunch.

Afterward, they can take a short 30-minute hike to the picturesque Maundi Crater before descending back to Marangu Gate. At the gate, a driver will be waiting to return them to their hotel in Moshi.

For those hesitant about committing to a full Kilimanjaro trek, consider one of our shorter excursions along the Marangu route. Spending just a day on the mountain provides a great insight into what a Kilimanjaro expedition entails. This option is perfect for families with children who might not be ready for the entire hike or for travelers with limited time who still wish to experience the wonder of Kilimanjaro. The one-day trip takes you up to Mandara Hut and then returns to the entry gate and back to Moshi.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
