Marangu village is located at the height of around 1300m (4300ft) above sea level, it is set within a dramatic landscape of high rises and deep valleys, covered by tropical rain forest. Our day trips include number of Cultural Tourism Programs in which visitors are taken by a local guide to meet villagers and understand their traditional way of life with a local guide. Marangu is a lively market town with a cool climate. The location of the town makes it an ideal starting point for hiking. At the base of Mt Kilimanjaro, surrounded by lush landscapes, lie hidden waterfalls. After a short drive of about 45mins in a private car to one on the most popular waterfall sites, “Marangu Waterfalls”, it is possible to explore the forest and discover the waterfalls on foot.
