Day 1: Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut (2743M)

Your tour begins after breakfast at your hotel, our vehicle will take you on an hour’s drive (from Moshi, 3 hours from Arusha) to the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate. After completing the necessary registrations your trek begins! The trail through the rainforest is lush and can be wet. If you keep your eyes peeled, you may see some of the local monkeys! If you have the energy, a quick side trip to Maundi Crater is well worth the effort. Otherwise, you can relax at your first camp, Mandara Hut (2743m), about 3 hours hiking time.

Day 2: Mandera Hut to Horombo Hut (3760m)

Today’s trek will have you  leave the forest and trek across the open moorlands. You’ll be gaining a lot of elevation today!  There is typically more of a social atmosphere here compared to the other huts.

Day 3: Horombo Hut to Marangu Gate – Return to Hotel

Descend through the rainforest to Marangu Gate, where our vehicle will be waiting to return you to your hotel.

Day 1 Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut (2,743m)

After breakfast at your hotel, we drive you to Marangu Gate (1 hour from Moshi, 3 hours from Arusha). After the checkin procedure, you start your hike through the lush rainforest. The flora and fauna are very nice along the way so keep alert and enjoy every step. Being a rainforest, you might need a rain jacket and hiking poles to manage any muddy areas. You will reach Mandara Hut where you will have lunch. You can either relax, or hike up to Maundi Crater to enjoy the views before returning back to Mandara Hut for dinner and overnight rest. 

Day 2: Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut (2,743m) back to Hotel

This morning you get the chance to hike up to Horombo Hut (2743m). This trail ascends steadily and you will see the rainforest give way to open moorland. Other groups will be hiking more slowly so they can acclimatize properly, but since this is not a summit trip, we are not as concerned about this. After spending some time at Horombo Hut, we make our way down the mountian, following the same path. We will pause at Mandera Hut for lunch before continuing to the Marangu Park Gate where our vehicle will be waiting to take you back to Moshi/Arusha.

We leave the hotel after an early breakfast and drive you to Marangu Gate. After registration procedures, you will hike through a beautiful and lush rainforest. Regardless of the time of the year, there is the possibility of rain and mud- afterall it is a rainforest. You might be able to spot the unusual black and white colobus monkeys or perhaps some chameleons among the vegetation. You will reach Mandera Hut (2743m) where you can have lunch. Afterwards there is a chance to hike to Maundi Crater (2760m) which offers some beautiful views into Kenya. We then return down the mountain, following the same path to the Marangu Gate where our driver will return you to your hotel.
