The way it unfolds.

Your day-by-day outline gives you a feel for the pace. The final plan can be adjusted around your dates and interests.

Tour Itinerary

You will start your journey after breakfast. Our driver will wait for you in Arusha to transport you to the village of Marangu. Choosing this route your journey will start at the Marangu gate (1,980 m), where you should sign in at the Park Office. Walk through the rainforest to the Mandara encampment. A side trip to Maundi Crater is a good way to see the surroundings including Northern Tanzania and Kenya. In the rainforest, look for towering Eucalyptus trees, birdlife, and Colobus monkeys. After lunch, hike back to the park gate and drive back to Arusha.
