Kilimanjaro short Kilimanjaro Marangu route climb package Detailed Overview
If you are not quite sure whether you are ready for a full Kilimanjaro adventure, you might want to take one of our shorter Kilimanjaro trips via the Marangu route. Only one or two days on the mountain will be enough to give you a full picture of what it takes to be part of a Kilimanjaro trekking expedition. This adventure is perfect if you travel with children who are not ready for the full hike yet or if your holiday is too short but you still want to enjoy the trip. On these hikes, you will reach the lower camps of Kilimanjaro, delve into the pristine tropical wilderness, and see breathtaking landscapes around you. The trail taken by the first Kilimanjaro explorers, Marangu, is home to black-and-white colobuses living in the branches of tropical trees growing along the trail. A one-day trip leads you up to Mandara Hut and back to the entry gate. A two-day option is a more immersive trip with an overnight stay at Mandara Hut, followed by a hike towards Horombo Hut Camp or Maundi Crater. Overall, it is a short yet fascinating adventure where wildlife and local culture blend.
