Highlights

Unlike other routes that use tents, Marangu is the only route with permanent huts, making it the most accessible and comfortable for a day hike. On the day hike, you'll typically reach Mandara Hut (2,700m / 8,858 ft), offering a cozy rest stop in the rainforest. You’ll hike through dense, green rainforest, with massive fig trees, mossy vines, and a soundtrack of birds and monkeys. It’s one of the most biodiverse sections of the mountain. 100% Local tour Explore the forest of Kilimanjaro in a one day See the waterfalls from the glaciers of Kilimanjaro Experience forest mammals of Kilimanjaro

About Moshi

Moshi is a friendly market town on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro, the main base for climbing Africa's highest mountain.

Kilimanjaro's snow-capped summit towers over the town on clear mornings, and Moshi is where most climbers prepare and later celebrate. Routes such as Marangu and Machame start at park gates a short drive away, while Lemosho sets off from the far western side of the mountain, climbing through farmland, rainforest, heath and alpine desert to the glaciers near Uhuru Peak.

Top-ranked sights in Moshi: Materuni Waterfall, Lake Chala, Kikuletwa Hot Springs (Chemka Hot Springs).
