Overview
This is a drive about 45km from Moshi town which will take 1 hour. At Marangu Gate, you have to do some registrations and pay the park entrance fee to get a valid permit to start the hike. Marangu gate is 1879m above sea level and the distance to Mandara hut is 8km (16 km round trip), which will take 3 to 4 hours for each direction.
Raining Forest
On the way from the Marangu gate to Mandara hut, you will cross the rain forest which is a dense forest, pure green with a lot of species of plants. If you are lucky you can see Blue Monkeys and a black and white Colobus Monkeys.
Maundi Crater, Marangu Day Hike
It just takes 15 minutes to walk from Mandara to Maundi Crater. This place offers a good view of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks and also a good view of the Kenyan side and Lake Chala and Jipe. During eruption the pressure was not enough to force magma to get out hence instead of rising, it formed a crater.
NOTE: Porters are not required for day trips, but guides are. Park regulations mandate that there can be at most two clients for each guide. The company will provide lunch and Water will be provided.
