Day hike on Kilimanjaro (Marangu route)

This day hike up Mount Kilimanjaro is perfect for those who want to experience Kili, without actually going to the top. In one day you walk via the Marangu route to the Mandara Huts at 2,700 meters or 8,858 feet. This guided hike takes 4 – 6 hours to walk up and another 2 – 3 hours to come down, and leads you past a dense rainforest with higher up some amazing views of Mawenzi Peak as a reward (on clear days). You might also spot Colobus monkeys and hyraxes along the way.
