My wife and I had an amazing time on this Kilimanjaro day hike. We were picked up by our driver, Nick, in the morning and transported through Moshi Town and the Chagga Villiage. Nick was very friendly and knowledgeable about the region and pointed out some highlights along the way. At Marangu gate we met our guide Gilbert. After some quick photos and registration we began our hike. Gilbert was fantastic and we felt very safe and comfortable with him as our guide. The hike to the Mandara Huts is easily the most beautiful hike I’ve ever been on. Nothing better than hiking through a lush, green atmosphere! The hike itself is moderate. The last hour of the hike is a bit different but if you’re in decent shape you’ll be fine. I can’t say enough great things about Nick and Gilbert. They’re awesome. We will hopefully return to Tanzania in the future!
