Majestic Mount Kilimanjaro is the awe-inspiring landmark of Tanzania but you don’t need to climb it to experience its full beauty and the captivating terrain that surrounds it. Our Sneak Peek of the Peak Hike is a Kilimanjaro day trip that gives you the opportunity to scramble up the first leg of the famed Marangu Route, through rainforest twittering with birdlife and chattering, curious blue monkeys. Watch out for a colobus or two!

What To Expect
Kilimanjaro National Park
Marangu Gate (1,800m/5,905ft) to Mandara Hut (2,743m/9,000ft) Elevation Gain: 915 meters, 3,000 feet Leave bustling, colorful Moshi early for the drive to Marangu Gate, the threshold of magnificent Kilimanjaro. It’s just an hour’s drive, but you’ll be captivated by the countryside – coffee and banana plantations, through picturesque Marangu village, with Kilimanjaro rising majestically ahead of you. We’ll register you at the Marangu Gate (because we don’t want to lose you!) and then your adventure will begin. At first, the ridged trail is narrow as you wander through the rainforest. It’s lush and misty, with the trees adorned with moss. The canopy overhead is alive with birdsong and strange rustlings – is that a colobus? Mongoose might scuttle ahead of you. You’ll also meet tired hikers descending from the summit. Give them a high five for effort. The hike to Mandara Hut is around three hours so stop to rest your legs and have a tasty lunch at the Hut and once you’ve replenished yourself, take the short but challenging walk to the Maundi Crater. On a clear day, the views to the east over Taveta and to the northwest to Mawenzi Peak are stunning. Don’t forget your camera! After basking in the beauty of it, you’ll hike back down to the Marangu Gate where our vehicle will be waiting for you to drive you, tired but happy, back to Moshi. This Kilimanjaro day hike is suitable for most people, even if you’re a little unfit!

5.00From the very beginning, when I first contacted Kilinge Adventures, I could feel the difference in their professionalism and care. Communication was fast, clear, friendly, and extremely informative. Every question I had about the Kilimanjaro day hike from Moshi, the best routes on Mount Kilimanjaro, the weather conditions, the difficulty level, and the Tarangire safari experience was answered with patience and honesty. They provided a detailed itinerary, helpful packing tips, and reassurance that I would be in safe, knowledgeable hands. This level of attention is what makes Kilinge Adventures stand out as the best Kilimanjaro tour operator and the most trusted safari company in Tanzania. An Outstanding Kilimanjaro Day Hike Experience My Kilimanjaro day hike was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Mount Kilimanjaro is not only the highest mountain in Africa, but also one of the most iconic trekking destinations in the world. To be able to hike its lower slopes and experience its breathtaking landscapes in just one day is something truly special, and Kilinge Adventures made it perfect in every possible way. We started the journey early in the morning from Moshi. The drive to the Kilimanjaro National Park gate was smooth and comfortable. My guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much information about the mountain, the surrounding culture, the Chagga people, the wildlife, and the different climate zones on Kilimanjaro. This made the experience not just a hike, but an educational and cultural journey as well.
