Mount Kilimanjaro Day Hike
Overview of the tour in Moshi
Marangu Gate (1,800m/5,905ft) to Mandara Hut (2,743m/9,000ft) Elevation Gain: 915 meters, 3,000 feet
Leave bustling, colourful Moshi early for the drive to Marangu Gate, which is the entry point of magnificent Kilimanjaro. It takes approximately an hour to get there, but you’ll be amazed by the countryside with its banana and coffee plantations, picturesque Marangu village, with Kilimanjaro rising majestically that awaits you.
You will be registered at the Marangu Gate and then your adventure will start. At first, the ridged trail is narrow as you wander through the rainforest. It’s lush and misty, with the trees adorned with moss. The canopy overhead is alive with birdsong and strange echoes of the nature – is that a colobus? Mongoose might scuttle ahead of you. You’ll also meet tired hikers descending from the summit. Give them a high five for effort.
The hike to Marangu takes around 3 hours to complete, where you can relax and have a tasty lunch at the Hut and once you’ve got back to form, take the short but challenging walk to the Maundi Crater. On a clear day, the views to the east over Taveta and to the northwest to Mawenzi Peak are unforgettable.
