The itinerary

Day 01

Kilimanjaro Rainforest Hike to Mandara Hut

Hikers will depart from Moshi early in the morning for Marangu Gate. The drive will take about 1 hour. After completing gate registration, you will begin your Kilimanjaro day hike.

Walking along a narrow path through Kilimanjaro's rainforest up to Mandara Hut, you may meet mountain climbers descending from the summit of Kilimanjaro. At Mandara Hut, you will have lunch and the opportunity to take a short walk to Maundi Crater.

The views to the east over Taveta and to the northwest toward Mawenzi Peak are lovely on a clear day, making the short hike well worth the effort. You will then have time to take photos upon arriving at Maundi Crater before descending back down to Marangu Gate. Our vehicles will be waiting at Marangu Gate to take you back to Moshi.

Day 02

Tarangire National Park Wildlife Safari

We will depart from Moshi in the early hours and drive to Tarangire National Park, where large termite mounds and ancient baobab trees await us. This park is famed for its significant elephant population, picturesque scenery, and varied birdlife.

Tarangire has a fascinating wildlife population comprising elephants, lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffaloes, and baboons. When our game drive comes to an end, we will continue back to Arusha.
