Highlights
  • Arusha - Your day trip begins with a hotel pick Arusha then jump in for a relaxing drive to Marangu gate for registration with the authorities before you begin your long-awaited hike.
  • Marangu - This route approaches the mountain from the southeast part.
    Our main task for the day is to make sure we reach Mandara Hut, the first point of a full hike. We will only trek through the lower attitudes, taking our picnic lunch en route to Mandara Hut. Once we are at Mandara Hut, we will rest for approximately 30 to 45 minutes before we begin our slow descent back to the Main Gate.
  • Kilimanjaro Region - Our driver will be waiting for you to drive you back to your hotel with relaxing music and cold or warm Kilimanjaro beer to take away the tiredness. Not only should you climb it but drink it too.

Their Services Are Excellent - Private Full Day Hiking Experience to Marangu Route to see the highlights and wildlife in Uganda. My wife and I booked a six day trip with them and everything was super! I did a lot of research into other companies and I am so glad I chose them. Every camp we stayed the night in was great in terms of service and food. If you are looking to see Tanzania , ask for Private Full Day Hiking Experience to Marangu Route, he is an awesome guide. Thanks Home to Africa !

An experience not to be missed when visiting Tanzania - What a memorable trek which have us a foretaste of the actual Kilimanjaro climb. Zac our guide was amazing and so encouraging. We felt safe in his company and he provided us with lots of information about the fauna and flora along the way. He is now our adopted son!

Well worth hiking Excellent guide and beautiful hike. - We were picked up at our hotel. From our hotel it was a drive. Make sure to take your passport with you and water bottle so it can be refilled. Our guide for hiking, Zack and Chris were very helpful in guiding our family and the other couple that joined with us. My husband and I were on the little slow side to hike up and down as compared to my daughter and the other couple. Zack was very patient with us and didn’t rush us. He made sure we were hydrated well and made sure we didn’t fall anywhere. Took great picture of us. We all completed our hike safely. Lunch was very delicious. Great experience and beautiful scenery.
