Day Trip to Mount Kilimanjaro

Are you eager to discover the highest mountain in Africa? Join us for an enriching hiking expedition on Mount Kilimanjaro, following the renowned Marangu route, guided by a knowledgeable local expert.

Tour Highlights

Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation in Arusha. We will embark on a scenic 3-hour drive through the captivating Tanzanian landscapes until we arrive at the Marangu Gate, a primary entry point to Kilimanjaro National Park.

As we start our hike, we will traverse through a lush forest, where you may spot monkeys engaging in their daily activities among the trees. During the trek, our English-speaking guide will provide valuable insights into the local flora and fauna, enhancing your experience.

After approximately 3 hours of hiking, we will reach the Mandara base camp, located at an altitude of 2,740 meters (8,990 feet). Here, we will take a break for around 30 minutes to recharge with a delightful picnic before our descent back to Marangu.

Once we arrive back at the starting point, transportation will be available to return you to your hotel in Arusha. You can expect to be back at your lodge roughly 12 hours later, having enjoyed an excursion that, while not reaching the peak, showcases the stunning vistas of Kilimanjaro.

What Do I Need?

For the hike, it is advisable to dress in comfortable clothing and wear suitable hiking shoes. Also, remember to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the elements.
