The Marangu route day trip is a fantastic full-day excursion that takes you to Kilimanjaro's Mandara hut, the first camp along the Marangu route. Starting from the Marangu Gate at 1879m, you'll hike 8km uphill to reach Mandara hut at 2720m, and then descend the same distance back. The entire journey typically takes 6 to 8 hours, depending on the hiker's experience level and objectives. It's a great option for those looking for a shorter but still rewarding Kilimanjaro experience in just one day.

Yes, that's correct! The Marangu Route on Kilimanjaro offers a day hike option where you ascend to Mandara Hut, which is the first camp on the route, and then return the same way in one day.
