Your journey begins with an early pick-up from your accommodation at Greenside Hotel in Arusha. Then you drive to Kilimanjaro National Park and enter through the Marangu Gate, the start of the route also known as the "Coca-Cola Route." This scenic trail leads through lush rainforest, alive with wildlife such as colobus monkeys, blue monkeys and exotic birds.
While a one-day trek does not reach Kilimanjaro’s summit, the hike to Mandara Hut offers awe-inspiring views of the mountain. It also gives you a real taste of the legendary Kilimanjaro trekking experience. After your adventure on the slopes, you return to Arusha. Finally, enjoy a relaxing evening at Greenside Hotel and get ready for the next day’s safari.
