After breakfast, you will be collected from Weru Weru River Lodge and taken to the Kilimanjaro National Park Gate (1860m). Once the necessary paperwork has been completed, your trek can begin and you will soon be hiking through the dense rainforest. Alongside the impressive vegetation, you will have the chance to catch a glimpse of the black and white colobus monkeys. Approximately 4 hrs later, you will reach your destination of the day – the Mandara Hut, (2700m). After a well-earned rest, your guide can take you to the Maundi Crater where you can enjoy the wonderful view of the Kenyan interior before descending down back to Marangu Gate.
