You certainly can’t climb Kilimanjaro in a day, but your day trip to this iconic, snow-capped mountain will give you an excellent taster of why Africa’s highest peak is so popular. During the course of the day, you will follow the popular Marangu Route and walk as far as the first hut – the Mandara – where you will take your picnic lunch. As other trekkers continue upwards, bound for the summit, you will make the descent again and return to Moshi.
Trekking from Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut and descend back
Your day tour begins with your hotel pickup at 08.00 a.m. Drive 1 hour to the Marangu Gate, where you will register at the gate with the Kilimanjaro National Park authorities, and begin hiking at around 10.00 a.m. The Marangu Route, which you follow today, approaches Kilimanjaro from the southeast. You will be attempting to reach the Mandara Hut and will only trek through the lower altitudes, enjoying your lunch box on the way to the Mandara Hut. Once you reach the hut at 13.00 p.m., you will stop for a rest for 30 mins and then descend slowly back to Marangu Gate for 2½ hours. The Jerry Tanzania Tours vehicle will be waiting to pick you up and return you to your hotel in Moshi, arriving at 5.00 p.m.
