Mount Kilimanjaro Day Tour

Mount Kilimanjaro Day Tour

Safari Overview

You certainly can’t climb Kilimanjaro in one day, but our day tour of this iconic, snow-capped mountain offers an excellent glimpse of why Africa’s highest peak is so popular. Throughout the day, we'll follow the popular Marangu Route, walking as far as the first hut – Mandara Hut – where we'll have our picnic lunch. As other trekkers continue upwards toward the summit, we'll descend and return to Arusha.
