The drive to Marangu takes about 45 minutes, and you will meet our guides, cooks, and porters when arriving at the gate. After completing gate registration, you'll begin your Kilimanjaro trek. You'll walk along a narrow trail through the Kilimanjaro rainforest for most of the hike. You'll eat a picnic lunch at Kisambioni, day one's halfway point. After lunch, you'll continue walking through the rainforest until reaching Mandara Hut. Relax for the rest of the day or take a short walk to Maundi Crater. The views to the east over Taveta and to the northwest of Mawenzi Peak are stunning on a clear day, making the short hike well worth the effort.
