2-Day Kilimanjaro Hike and Tarangire Safari with Mandara Hut

• Hikers will leave Moshi early and depart for Marangu Gate. The drive takes approximately 1 hour. After completing gate registration, you will begin your Kilimanjaro day hike.
• Walking along a narrow trail through the rainforest of Kilimanjaro up to Mandara Hut, you will meet mountain climbers descending from the top of Kilimanjaro. At Mandara Hut, you will have lunch and the option to take a short walk to Maundi Crater. On a clear day, the views east over Taveta and northwest to Mawenzi Peak are stunning, making the short hike well worth the effort.
• After arriving at Maundi Crater, you will have time to take photos before descending to Marangu Gate. Our vehicles will be waiting at Marangu Gate to take you back to Moshi.
