Kilimanjaro Trekking Marangu Route Day Trip

1 Day 📍Mount Kilimanjaro 👤Private, 2-7 people
From $550 USD per person*

Overview

Kilimanjaro Marangu day hike involves going up to the first camp, Mandara Hut (2720m), and coming back via the same route on the same day. There is a drive of about 45km from Moshi town, which will take 1 hour. At Marangu Gate, you have to do some registration and pay the park entrance fee to get a valid permit to start the hike. Marangu Gate is 1879m above sea level, and the distance to Mandara Hut is 8km (16 km round trip), which will take 3 to 4 hours in each direction.

HIKING MARANGU ROUTE

Raining Forest
On the way from the Marangu gate to Mandara hut, you will cross the rain forest which is a dense forest, pure green with a lot of species of plants. If you are lucky you can see Blue Monkeys and black and white Colobus Monkeys.
Maundi Crater
It just takes 15 minutes to walk from Mandara to Maundi Crater. This place offers a good view of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks and also a good view of the Kenyan side ad lake Chala and Jipe. During the eruption, the pressure was not enough to force magma to get out hence instead of rising up it formed a crater.
