What to expect

The guides will arrive at the hotel in the morning to meet you and hold a quick briefing, after which you will be transferred to Kilimanjaro National Park's eastern entrance: Marangu Gate. After the quick formality of registering the climbing permits and registering with the rescue service, the group will start trekking up to Mandara Hut. The trekking route includes a passage through the rainforest where tropical showers are highly probable, so we recommend taking raincoats. When you reach the camp, you will be provided with lunch-boxes. After lunch you can take a hike to the beautiful Maundi Crater nearby. It will take about 1 hours after which you will start your descent down to the exit of the park - Marangu gate. There your driver will pick you up and drive you to your hotel .
