Overview

You love to get a glimpse of Kilimanjaro the top of Africa aka the highest free-standing mountain in the world, but your time, physical and financial ability don’t allow you to get to the summit? Let Chief’s Tours bring you this chance by offering you 1-day trek on a private basis which you can start on any day of the year.
The short treks are geared for people who like to hike but reaching the summit isn’t a “must do”, and allow one to experience the excitement of hiking on the highest peak on the African continent. All trekking inside of the Tanzania National Park require the services of certified guides, and at the moment, the Marangu and Machame Route are the only two routes where short treks are allowed

Itinerary

After breakfast at your hotel, you will meet your guide then have a one-hour drive to the Kilimanjaro National Park Marangu Gate, register and commence the climb by walking through the rainforest to the Mandara encampment. A side trip to Maundi Crater is a good way to see the surroundings including Northern Tanzania and Kenya. In the lush rainforest, don't forget to look for towering Eucalyptus trees, bird life, Colobus monkeys and many more! Mandara Hut will be your final point where you enjoy a stunning panorama of Kilimanjaro region's landscapes and where you enjoy your lunch in nature. After lunch time, you will hike back to the park gate and return to peaceful Moshi town.
