Mount Kilimanjaro Full-Day Hike Tanzania Safari

Mount Kilimanjaro Full-Day Hike Tanzania Safari

You certainly 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, we 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.

Itinerary

Venture out for a day's hiking on Africa's highest mountain, at 19,341 feet (5,895 m) above sea level. Trek the easy-level route of Marangu and admire the stunning views of the 3 volcanic peaks of Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira as your guide explains their geology and surroundings.

Depart from your hotel in a 7-seat 4x4 safari vehicle and drive to Kilimanjaro National Park Gate at Marangu. After a briefing from your professional guide, trek through the lush forest up to Mandara Hut at 9,022 feet (2,750 m).

Admire the scenery that surrounds you and pause for photos of the 3 volcanic peaks. Listen as your guide explains the mountain's geology—Mawenzi and Shira are extinct, while Kibo, the highest, is dormant and could erupt again.
