Kilimanjaro Day Hike to Mandara

Walk on Kilimanjaro without committing a week to it: through the rainforest from Marangu Gate up to Mandara Hut and back.

Day by day.

  1. 1

    Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut

    A short drive from Moshi to Marangu Gate, then a walk of around three hours through dense rainforest to Mandara Hut at 2,700 m, with blue and colobus monkeys overhead. A short extension leads to the Maundi Crater rim and, in clear weather, a view towards Kenya. Picnic lunch, then back down and to Moshi by evening.
