Kilimanjaro Day Hike Experience.

Tour Overview

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the world’s tallest freestanding mountain, with an elevation of 5,895m (19,340 feet) ASL. Located 80km from Arusha and 25km from Moshi, its strategic location makes it a prime destination for travelers seeking a unique and breathtaking adventure.

Climbing to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro typically requires six to nine days. However, Tanzania Tourists offers you the opportunity to hike up to 3,601m (11,814 feet) ASL in just one day. This is the perfect option for those with limited time or for travelers who may not be fully prepared for a multi-day ascent, yet still wish to experience the beauty and grandeur of Africa’s tallest mountain.
