Our guide picked us up from Arusha at 8. We reached the gate at 12. We were told that we would have to hike very quickly if we wanted to make it there and back. We hiked non-stop for 3.5 hours. No breaks. Once we reached the first camp, his plan changed. We were told there wasn't enough time to hike the extra 20 minutes to see mountain views. We were also told we only had 10 minutes for eating and bathroom use as we had to walk back so we wouldn't be fined for staying after 6. After one hour of walking we were escorted to an ambulance so we could be driven down before  the park closed. The diver called us "cry babies"  we were beyond embarrassed. We never complained and were able to hike. We just weren't given enough time. Needless to say, we spent $200 for a miserable day.
