1-Day Kilimanjaro Hike

Day 1

Your day tour begins with your hotel pick-up at 6:00 am. You’ll drive 3 hours to the Marangu Gate where you will register at the gate with the Kilimanjaro National Park authorities. You will begin hiking at around 11:00 am. The Marangu Route, which we follow today, approaches Kilimanjaro from the southeast. You will be attempting to reach the Mandara Hut and will only trek through the lower altitudes, taking your picnic lunch on the way to the Mandara Hut. Once you reach the hut at 2:00 pm, you will stop for a rest for 30 mins. Then, you’ll descend slowly back to Marangu Gate for 2.5 hours. The vehicle will be waiting to pick you up and return you to your hotel in Arusha/Moshi or drive you to the airport.
