After breakfast and a briefng (including a check of your equipment), we’ll drive to the Kilimanjaro National Park gate. Once the necessary formalities are completed, your hike through the dense rainforest can begin. Besides the impressive vegetation, you have the opportunity to observe black and white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, and various bird species. After about 3-4 hours, you will reach the day‘s destination – the Mandara Hut. After a well-earned rest, you can take a short trip to Maundi Crater (15 minutes away) with your guide. The great view of Kilimanjaro, north Tanzania, and into Kenya is worth the extra effort.
