The Day 1 of 1 day Kilimanjaro hiking ,A busy day in Tanzania's wilderness area awaits you once we pick you up from your accommodation in the early hours of the morning of your Kilimanjaro day tour. You pass through a forest reserve on the way to West Kilimanjaro, where you may keep an eye out for Colobus monkeys in the trees. At 3,500 meters above sea level, you begin your journey over the Shira Plateau's stunningly rocky scenery. Enter the breathtaking environment of Tanzania, lace up your shoes, and take in the sights, sounds, and colors.
When the weather is favorable, you may glimpse Kibo, Kilimanjaro's tallest summit, and its northern glaciers while hiking along several paths with a ranger.
Views of the tallest free-standing peak in the world are contrasted with the broad grasslands of the neighboring Amboseli National Park in Kenya and the narrow valley of the Simba River. When you get to Shira Crater's northern rim, stop briefly at a few observation sites to examine the volcanic cones that dot the area below. Hike at your own speed and stop along the route for a picnic lunch outside. You don't have to be an athlete to enjoy the moderately difficult hike of your Kilimanjaro hiking . However, the air is thinner around 3,500 meters, so take it slow and take in the pristine scenery and the majestic Kilimanjaro's presence. We drive you back to your accommodation after a four-hour hike—or sooner if your legs start to hurt.
What to wear: Closed-toed shoes are advised because there may be areas of rough ground during the trek. Warm clothes and/or waterproof gear are also suggested due to the altitude.
