INTRODUCTION

For those who do not wish to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro to the top and yet want to experience the magic of the mountain then the Kilimanjaro Day hike will be ideal for them. This hike to the first hut will allow you to have a feel of  Mt. Kilimanjaro for one day.

If you have been doing a driving safari for most part of your trip, a break from the car and a chance to stretch your muscles in Nature will make you appreciate nature as you explore    Kilimanjaro region.

 On a clear day you will be in a position to see and hear birds singing in the bushes, monkeys jumping from tree to tree and the breathtaking landscape and vegetation on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Children are also allowed to do the Kilimanjaro day hike and it will be a good family hike as you introduce your young ones to the highest Mountain in Africa without taking them all the way to the top.

One advantage of the Kilimanjaro day hike; is that you will not be required to have any special Mountain climbing gears.
