Day 01
Marangu Gate, Coffee Farm and Ndoro Waterfalls
- Take a drive to Marangu Gate (1900 m), the starting point for all Kilimanjaro treks via the Marangu route. Expect to experience an abundance of nature, culture, and cuisine. You will have the opportunity to take pictures of the mighty, marvellous Kilimanjaro and get a sense of the spirit of the mountain. The area around Marangu is home to the local Chagga tribe, and you will learn all about their rich history and traditions on this full-day expedition.
- Visit a small coffee farm, where you will learn how the coffee is grown, harvested, and processed locally. Try your hand at processing, roasting, and preparing a fresh cup of coffee.
- Once you have finished enjoying your coffee break, depart for the spectacular Ndoro Waterfalls. The hike to the waterfall's base leads through a lush green landscape, and the descent takes approximately 1 hour. Here, you will have the opportunity to relax and take a refreshing bath in the waterfall pool.
- Another highlight is the visit to the Chagga Underground Caves and the Chagga Live Museum.
