Great tour for beginners to explore this majestic mountain giant. It’s impossible to climb this famous, highest Mount Kilimanjaro in a day, but our day trip to this iconic snow-capped mountain will give you a shot to scramble up the first leg of the well-known Marangu route at Mandara hut. On your way through the thick rainforest, you will come across twittering and chattering birdlife, colobus monkeys and don’t forget to watch out for the curious blue Monkeys. 3 hours up and 2 hours down.

We will pick you up in Moshi and drive to the gate of Kilimanjaro, the drive will take 1 hour to arrive at the Marangu gate. You will be hiking in the tropical rainforest alongside the impressive vegetation. You will have the chance to catch a glimpse of black and white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, and various bird species. Our knowledgeable English-speaking guide will inform you about Kilimanjaro and will explain the different species of plants and animals you will see. You will also meet mountain climbers descending from the top, and perhaps some of them will tell you of their experience. You can start to dream about a climb of your own! After a 3-4 hour hike, you will reach Mandara Hut (2700m), where you will have a well-earned rest and lunch. Your guide will take you on a short hike (15 minutes walking distance) to the Maundi Crater, where you can enjoy wonderful views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
