Experience the wonders of Africa’s highest mountain with a one-day hike on Mt. Kilimanjaro! If reaching the summit isn’t feasible due to time, budget, or fitness limitations, this trek offers a perfect alternative.

Your journey begins with a 2-hour drive from Arusha or an overnight stay in Moshi. After a briefing with your mountain guide, you will head to Marangu Gate, situated at 1,860 m (6,046 ft), and enter the lush Kilimanjaro rainforest.

The hike to Mandara Huts takes approximately 3-4 hours, where you’ll enjoy a packed lunch and breathtaking views at 2,700 m (8,860 ft). Depending on time, you can extend your hike to Maundi Crater for even more stunning vistas.

After lunch, you’ll descend back to Marangu Gate in about 2-3 hours. Essential gear includes well-worn hiking boots, a waterproof coat, walking poles (optional), a water bottle, and snacks. Discover the beauty of Kilimanjaro with Ankwa Tours and Safaris!
