Kilimanjaro Tour Overview

This 2 days Kilimanjaro trek, will give you an opportunity to hike on the Marangu Route and stay one night at Mandara Huts, 2720m. The day after you will wake up early in the Morning and walk towards Horombo Hut before returning to Mandara for lunch and then hiking back. Because you have only 2 days, will not be enough for you to reach the summit. Hikers who want to get to the Top they take at least 5 or 6 days.

All short treks are offered on a private basis, and you can start on any day of the year. The short treks are geared for people who like to hike but reaching the summit is not a “must do”, and allow one to experience the excitement of hiking on the highest peak on the African continent.

All trekking inside of the Tanzania National Park require the services of a certified Kilimanjaro guide, and the Marangu route is the only route where short treks are allowed. For an overnight hike you will stay at the park huts.
