Itinerary
You will be picked up in the morning at your hotel in Arusha/Moshi and taken to the Marangu Gate, 1860m. The drive will take approximately 1 hour. Once the necessary gate registration has been completed, your trek can begin and you will soon be hiking through the dense Kilimanjaro rainforest. Alongside the impressive vegetation, you will have the chance to catch a glimpse of black and white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys and various bird species. Our knowledgeable English-speaking guide will inform you about Kilimanjaro and will explain the different species of plants and animals you will see. You will also meet mountain climbers descending from the top, and perhaps some of them will tell you of their experiences and you can start to dream about a climb of your own! After a 3–4-hour hike, you will reach Mandara Hut (2700m), where you will have a well-earned rest and lunch. Once you have thoroughly enjoyed the views, you will return to the Marangu Gate (2-3 hours walking distance), l.

Me and my friends had a really nice experience traveling with sandpiper safaris. The hiking was great, the food, the hospitality of our guide and everything. We can’t wait for the next hiking. And I highly recommend sandpiper safaris for those who need to visit Mount Kilimanjaro. Thank you so much sandpiper safaris.
Recommending this tour and Abouh! He’s a professional, nice, funny and passionated guy who always wants you to feel comfortable on the journey. Let this tour be a part on your adventure in beautiful Tanzania. 🌿
I am not a skilled hiker but still I wanted to experience this trip. Abouh is a great guide who's most important aim is to make his clients happy. I felt very comfortable and made some memories I will never forget. Asante sana!
It was a good experience, our guide John was an expert in Kilimanjaro. (it is important to bring a raincoat because otherwise you will have to rent one)
It was great hiking. My guide Edgar was very knowledgeable, charming and friendly. Highly recommend sandpiper safaris
4 days climbing in Mont Meru pretty well organized by sandpiper safaris. Transportation,lodging, choice of excellent cook, porters and professional guide Edgar felix kisanga made my climbing of Mt Meru a success. An outstanding experience that I do highly recommend you.
Day hike to Kilimanjaro was really good, lunch was good and delicious, our guide Edgar was good and well prepared. Thanks to Sandpiper safaris for arranged our trip!
We had a great time with our guide Gasto. He was friendly, knowledgeable, encouraging, and very patient. we really enjoyed this activity. It was a rewarding experience. The rainforest is so beautiful. Ultimately, it feels nice to be able to say that we hiked Mt. Kilimanjaro. Thanks Sandpiper safaris
Gasto the guide was very punctual, friendly and shared with us so much information about Kilimanjaro so we would do it again 100%. Only issue we believe for a one day hike is a bit pricey but we guess that's the way it is.
Amazing, the guide was charismatic, friendly and knowledgable. The trip was also fantastic, especially the coffee at the end!
We had an amazing day at kilimanjaro waterfall. The coffee experience was perfect and the coffee was nice.
I really loved the coffee experience and also the guide was really funny and knowledgeable. The waterfall and the walk there was great as well. The coffee experience was so nice because they explained us the whole process and showed us what they could and we could even take part and enjoy the coffee afterwards.
We hiked the Kilimanjaro for one day. The guides were super fun. We got a lot of information and had a great time. Thank you for having us! We also made another tour with them because the vibe was very nice.
Our day trip of Mount Kilimanjaro was wonderful! I didn’t have time to climb the whole mountain while I was in Tanzania, but knew I wanted to at least see it, and this was great. Assad drove us from Arusha and had a rockin’ playlist, too. He went on the hike and didn’t hesitate when my friend and I asked him countless times to take a million photos.
Incredible experience! It’s was an amazing nature landscape and very good hosts that were super fun, easygoing and helpful. Have no hesitation in recommending Sandpiper Safaris!
We went around Kilimanjaro on 1 day, it was great! Our guide Edgar was top and very knowledgeable. We also had a great lunch, nothing to complain about on this tour! The experience of Kilimanjaro on a short stay is definitely worth it!
Great tour with our guide Edgar! It was an amazing experience with a lot of information about Kilimanjaro. Also we were able to visit the Mandara Hut (first stop) which gave us a good overview of the Kilimanjaro experience only 16 km away, which allows good training for beginner hikers. Thank you Sandpiper Safari!
Edgar the guide was very punctual and friendly and shared with us a lot of information about Kilimanjaro. We would do it again without hesitation! Thank you Sandpiper Safaris!
We went on a day trip together with our two guides Godlisten and Joel. First we went to the Materuni waterfall, just the way there is really super nice in the middle of banana plants. Afterwards we had a coffee tour directly in the village and were allowed to watch the process "from coffee plant to finished bean" and actively participate in it. Afterwards we took a dip in the crystal clear Hot Springs near Moshi. All in all it was a super nice day we had the pleasure to spend with the two of them!
