Kilimanjaro day hike.
Description
You will begin your hike at Marangu Gate (1,900m) before traversing through the equatorial rainforest to Mandara Hut (2,700m), which is situated on the forest belt border just below Maundi Crater. Along the way, you’ll get to witness some of the mountain’s diverse flora and fauna, while enjoying breath-taking views of the magnificent Mt. Kilimanjaro. You will also get the chance to see a variety of colourful birdlife and many species of monkeys including the Black and White Colobus. You may also meet tired hikers descending from the summit – be sure to give them a high-five for effort!

Sweet one-day hike throughout the Kilimanjaro rainforest. I recommend to anyone who wants to get taste of trekking towards the majestic mountain Kilimanjaro without reaching the top. This trip can definitely satisfy your trekking desires in the northern Tanzania. Well-maintained pathway from Marangu gate (1,860 m) to the Mandara Hut (2,700 m) can be managed in 4 hours. Despite that I reached the Uhuru peak in March this year, I joined the Kili for this one day trek. They made me feel like as I can climb up again! Asante sana!
