Your day tour begins with your hotel pickup at 02:00hrs Drive to the Marangu Gate where you will register at the gate with the Kilimanjaro National Park authorities.

Begin hiking at around 09.00hrs. The Marangu Route, which we follow today, approaches Kilimanjaro from the southeast. We will be attempting to reach the Mandara Hut and will only trek through the lower altitudes, taking our picnic lunch on the way to the Mandara Hut. Once we reach the hut at 12:00hrs, we will stop for a rest for 30 mins and then descend slowly back to Marangu Gate for 2.5 hours.

An Alaitol Safaris vehicle will be waiting to pick you up and return you to your hotel in Arusha, arriving at 18:00hrs.
