Mountain Climbing Day Trip
Both Kilimanjaro and neighbouring Mount Meru offer day trips into their lower reaches as well as multi-day climbs, for example through the montane rainforest of the respective national parks.
Mountain Climbing Day Trip at a glance
Kilimanjaro or Mount Meru in a day? Climb them, no; hike them, yes: the day trip takes you into the lower reaches of the mountain national parks, on Kilimanjaro via the Marangu Route up to the Mandara Huts at 2,700 metres. Four to six hours up, two to three for the way back, with rainforest in between, the Mawenzi peak in clear weather and, with luck, colobus monkeys. Pack warm clothing and hiking boots. The summit stays up there; in return, you sleep in a bed again that evening rather than in a tent.
