About this experience
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. Kilimanjaro day hike: climb Mount Kilimanjaro with a one-day hike.
This hike has probably been on your bucket list for a while now and if you don’t have the time or budget (or both) to climb it, then this is definitely your best option. You’ll get up high and have the single best view on the mountain, without having to pay the full price. Get a nice taste of the highest mountain in Africa: Mt. Kilimanjaro at 5,985m tall.
