After breakfast, you will be driven to Marangu Gate with a box lunch. Upon entering Mount Kilimanjaro National Park at Marangu Gate, you will complete the registration formalities at the park headquarters. The actual hike begins at the park gate (6,000'), and you will hike 5.5 miles up to Mandara Hut (8,860') near the upper edge of the forest line. The hike takes about 3-5 hours.
The path is interesting, starting off through rainforest vegetation and then opening up to giant heather. If time and weather permit, a short walk from Mandara to Maundi Crater is worth it. Afterward, you'll walk back to Marangu Gate, where you will meet our driver and drive back to Keys Hotel.
