Commence your Kilimanjaro trek by departing Arusha/Moshi at approximately 0800hrs to reach Marangu Gate for the Mountain Climb Registration. Traverse a narrow trail through Kilimanjaro's rainforest, with Kisambioni as the midway point for a picnic lunch. Post-lunch, continue through the rainforest until reaching Mandara Hut. Enjoy leisure time or opt for a brief walk to Mahundi Crater, offering impressive views to the east over Taveta and to the northwest to Mawenzi Peak on clear days, making the short hike highly rewarding.
