Mount Kilimanjaro stands as a breathtaking symbol of Tanzania, enthroned in majestic beauty. Nonetheless, scaling its heights isn’t the sole path to soaking in awe-inspiring views and the captivating landscapes that enshroud it. Our ‘Sneak Peek of the Peak Hike’ day trip to Kilimanjaro offers the chance to ascend the initial segment of the famed Marangu Route, permeated with abundant wildlife and the lively sounds of nature. A midday meal awaits at the Mandara hut, followed by the option of venturing to Maundi crater for some photo opportunities, before descending the same route once used to ascend. The round trip approximately takes 5 hours — 3 hours for the ascend and 2 hours down. Participants are advised to carry apt hiking footwear, a raincoat, and a small day pack to hold a boxed-lunch and drinking water for the trip.
