Marangu Route (1/6) | Marangu Gate (1,860 m/6,102 ft) - Mandara Huts (2,720 m/8,923 ft)

In the early morning, your guide takes you from the hotel to Marangu Gate at 1,860 m. The initial part of the trek takes you through coffee and banana plantations, as well as untouched rainforest. Take this opportunity to admire the stunning views of lush vegetation and diverse wildlife along the way. After a seven-hour hike, you reach the Mandara Huts. In the afternoon, you can choose to visit the Maundi Crater, a volcanic crater near the huts, or simply relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. As this is your first day at this altitude, remember to drink plenty of water!
