Mount Kilimanjaro Day Tour

  • Private

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.

Lush forest path with moss-covered steps, surrounded by dense greenery and misty atmosphere, inviting exploration.
