Itinerary
You will be picked up early in the morning from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi and driven to Marangu Gate (1,860m), the starting point of the Marangu Route. After registration, your guide will lead you through the lush montane forest, where you may spot wildlife such as blue monkeys and exotic birds. The trail ascends gradually through the forest, and after 3-4 hours of hiking, you will reach the Mandara Hut (2,720m), a rest point for climbers. Here, you can explore the area, including a short walk to Maundi Crater, offering beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and Kilimanjaro’s peaks. After enjoying a picnic lunch at Mandara Hut, you will begin your descent back to Marangu Gate, which takes about 2-3 hours. You will be driven back to Arusha or Moshi in the late afternoon.
