Hike Kilimanjaro’s Marangu Route to Mandara Hut from Arusha or Moshi, with a private guide, rainforest wildlife, lunch, and transfers.

“The hike was okay but u wouldn’t do it again, I don’t recommend it for single female. It didn’t feel safe, I was accompanied by three male staff and me in a van, for such a long drive in a foreign country (from Arusha to the park was 4 hours one way). Plus I felt uncomfortable. The guide provided little info about the park, it was almost a silent hike for half of the time.”
