1 Day: Hiking Majestic Kilimanjaro

About this experience

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

Itinerary and highlights

It is obvious that you can’t climb Kilimanjaro in a day, but our day tour 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 our picnic lunch will be taken. As other trekkers continue upwards, bound for the summit, we will make the descent again and return to Arusha.
