    You’ll be picked up in Moshi in the morning for a 1-hour drive to Kilimanjaro National Park’s Marangu Gate (1860m). After registration, your trek begins through the lush rainforest. Along the way, spot black and white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, and various birds. Your English-speaking guide will share insights about the mountain’s plants and animals. You may also meet climbers descending from the summit, sharing stories that may inspire your own future climb. After a 3–4 hour hike, you’ll arrive at Mandara Hut (2700m) for lunch and a rest. A short walk (15 mins) leads to Maundi Crater, offering amazing views of Kilimanjaro, Northern Tanzania, and Kenya. You’ll then return to the gate (2–3 hours) where your driver will take you back to your hotel. Enjoy the sunset and reflect on the day’s adventure. • Altitude gain: 1860m to 2700m • Distance (one way): 8km • Hiking time: 3–4 hrs up, 2–3 hrs down (total 5–7 hrs) • Habitat: Mountain forest.
