After we pick you up in your Hotel in Moshi/Arusha we’re driving 1.5hrs to the Starting Point of our trip, which is the Marangu Gate (1.879m). Your guide will sign you up and arrange all payments for the National Park. Before starting our Trek you will get a Lunch box and Softdrinks to strengthen yourself for a nice trip. Around noon we’re starting our trekking tour in the forest and we are going to see lots of animals like different monkeys or antilopes. When we reach the Camp “Mandara” (2.720m) after 4 hrs we will take a break for drinking and you will get a nice lunch box. Mandara is in the vegetation zone “Montane Forest” and from there you will start your trip to the “Maundi Crater” (2.775m) which takes you only 20 minutes to walk. Maundi Crater is an extinct and small-sized depression that was an outcome of Mount Kilimanjaro’s volcanic activity. From there you have enough time to take pictures and enjoy the landscape itself. Around 4pm we set off back to the Gate (〜1.5/2hrs) where your bus is waiting to bring you back to your Hotel.
