      Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport; meet by our knowledgeable driver guide, after greetings and double check your bags will transfer you to Moshi/Arusha town (45 minutesโ€™ drive). Briefing will be provided by your Kilimanjaro professional and experienced guide. Your Kilimanjaro guide will also check your climbing equipmentโ€™s. Anything missing can be rented for you. 



      Accommodation:        Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel (http://www.kiliwonders.com/) or similar

  • Day 2 Day 2: Moshi/Arusha Town โ€“ Marangu Gate โ€“ Mandara Hut (1B, 1L, 1D)
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Moshi/Arusha Town โ€“ Marangu Gate โ€“ Mandara Hut (1B, 1L, 1D)

      A morning pre-climb briefing and introductions with our team precede the drive to Kilimanjaro Parkโ€™s Eastern Gate: Marangu, which lies at 1,860 m. Here, your head guide arranges all necessary permits and registration for rescue and search services before you start the walk to Mandara Hutโ€™s 2,700 m. The trail takes you through rain forest with its high probability of rain showers, so bring a raincoat.

       This being your first day at high altitude we strongly recommend the following:

      โ€ข Do not consume any caffeine or alcohol

      โ€ข Drink often, a little at a time for a total daily intake of 4 litres minimum.

      โ€ข Take Diamox for relief from altitude sickness symptoms. It is usually taken in the morning before the dayโ€™s climbing. Consult your physician before undertaking the trip to check for possible contraindications.

      โ€ข Heed your bodyโ€™s warnings and promptly inform your guide of any adverse symptoms.

      Acclimatization-associated discomfort is common at night, when your body gets less oxygen than during the day. This is normally expressed in the form of nausea and headaches.

      Early in the morning after breakfast, the group will depart Mandara Hut to start a moderate trek towards the second-high altitude camp: Horombo Hut (3,720 m). When you reach the camp on this day, you will be treated to views of two volcanos at once: Kibo and Mawenzi.

      Several hours after lunch you will have to complete an acclimatization hike in the direction of Kibo Hut with a 200-meter gain in altitude, and then hike back down to Horombo Hut where dinner will be prepared for you.

      Note: The acclimatization hike is an easy trek with a slight gain in altitude done in order to speed up the acclimatization process. You should take the acclimatization hikes very seriously. They help increase your chances of successfully summiting Kilimanjaro and save you from the consequences of altitude sickness.
