- Kilimanjaro National Park - You will be picked up from your hotel in Arusha and transferred to the Marangu Gate of the National Park (approx. 30-40 min drive). For the day trip you will effectively be doing the first day of the total climb- through the lush rainforest ecosystem. From the Marangu gate, accompanied by your professional mountain guide, you will hike to the Mandara Huts, at an altitude of 2700m. You will stop here for lunch and then take a short walk to view the Maundi crater, from where you can see the view of both the Mawenzi peak and Kibo peak (the summit).

GENERAL OVERVIEW OF KILIMANJARO
MOUNT KILIMANJARO holds a unique place among mountains.
It’s the single tallest mountain globally, meaning it boasts the most dramatic rise from its base to its peak.
It’s among the less challenging climbs within the seven summits; it’s interesting to note that the 1950 list of the seven summits included two additional revered peaks - Mt. Blanc and Kosciusko.<br><br>For us, KILIMANJARO IS A SACRED MOUNTAIN; it’s the tallest among holy mountains by over 5000 feet and one of the 3 sacred peaks renowned for their unique Energy.
Climbing KILIMANJARO doesn’t necessitate any special skills, but rather, it involves a good deal of walking - approximately 40 miles and a climb of around 13000 feet, typically spread over 6 days on the way up and 2 days on the way down. Don’t get discouraged thinking you’re too out of shape, too old, too young, or too anything. Above all, undertaking KILIMANJARO requires tenacity and resolve.
