The itinerary

1. 1

   Overview

   • Kilimanjaro Day Hike from Arusha
   • Arusha. Moshi. Kilimanjaro Mountain
   • You certainly can’t climb Kilimanjaro in a day, but our day tour of this iconic, snow-capped mountain will give you an excellent taste of why Africa’s highest peak is so popular. During the day, we will follow the popular Marangu Route and walk as far as the first hut – the Mandara – where our picnic lunch will be taken. As other trekkers continue upwards, bound for the summit, we will make the descent again and return to Arusha
