I had the most amazing day with my guide, Stephen! A one day walk was a great way to get a feel for the mountain, and I’ve now decided to come back next year to go the whole way up! Stephen was very knowledgeable and set a fantastic pace. I cannot recommend him enough!!

A nice walk in the rainforest up to Mandara hut. The guide Steven was great, telling me about everything from facts about the mountain & forest to daily Tanzanian life.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear that you had the most amazing day with our guide Stephen during your Kilimanjaro climb day trip.

No doubt a nice hike through the mountain forest to the Mandara huts, yet not much different from hikes through other nice forests around the world. But you are not likely to spend 200$ in total elsewhere (transfer, guide, entrance fee, tips) at the end of the day. Expect nothing spectacular - Kili peaks cannot be seen from the Mandara huts and through the trees.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience on the Kilimanjaro day hike to Mandara Huts. We appreciate your honest feedback! The hike through the lush rainforest offers a unique opportunity to explore Kilimanjaro’s diverse ecosystems, spot wildlife like colobus monkeys, and enjoy the fresh mountain air. While the peaks may not be visible from Mandara Huts, this trek is a great introduction to Kilimanjaro trekking. For those looking for more breathtaking views, a multi-day Kilimanjaro hike or a Tanzania safari tour could be perfect options. We’d love to welcome you again for another adventure—perhaps a cultural day trip,Kilimanjaro climb multi day trip, Materuni Waterfall and Hot Springs, or a Serengeti safari. Asante sana!

Our tour guide Bubusha was a great person and had a great help to us to reach to the point. The operator has not informed us about 83$/person entrance fee. That was shocking for us. Due to heavy rain we had difficulty but nevertheless it was great to be on Kilimanjaro.

What a great way to get a small taste of what the big mountain can offer. Guide Norka and guide in training Colin were spectacular. They were knowledgeable and provided interesting facts and information. They were also kind and encouraging as we hiked. This is by far the best deal available for the day hike option!

Enjoyed a day hike from Moshi to Kilimanjaro Natl Park with Kilinge while visiting East Africa from the USA. The driver Hans and guide Tyson picked me up on time, were friendly, and spoke English well. I am learning some Swahili, and they helped me with words and phrases. They were on time.
Once we got to Kili Natl Park, it was an easy registration, then the hike began. We took the Maringu route to Mandara hut, which took me about 3.5 hrs. The altitude change was a little tough for me with the uphill hike, but Tyson was very encouraging. He carried a box lunch for me, which was tasty and more than I could eat. We continued on to Maundi crater, then turned around and made our way back down, which was another 2.5-3hrs. I saw beautiful monkeys and hyrax along the way.
Overall was about 8 hrs with the driving. The price Kilinge charges is competitive and the value was good. I'd just suggest double checking all of the costs up front. In addition to the Viator booking price, the listing mentioned the national park fee, but not how much it was (Kili park website said 70$USD, plus tax, so that is what I planned for), nor a fee for the guide's entry, or another fee for being a solo hiker (which I was able to negotiate out of, but felt very guilty about) that the owner mentioned later when I contacted them the day before the tour asking to verify the park fee cost. They should mention all the costs upfront. Park fee can only be paid by card, also, which would be good to mention. So, just be sure to get clear info on the fees ahead of time.
The only other issue was that the driver pulled over on the way back from Kili on a random street corner and fully rolled down my window while talking on the phone, with no explanation for the reason for doing this. I felt a bit unsafe, as I didn't understand what was happening, especially as women stuck their hands in the car at me with goods they were trying to sell --they were also clearly confused by what he was doing. Travel warnings for Moshi area often mention bag and phone snatchings from open windows, so this is not something I would have done if I'd had control of the situation. It felt a bit unprofessional at best. But overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend Kilinge.

We had a great day with our guide. The way up wasn’t easy. For us it was 4 hours and then nearly 3 hours back. But with help and good company we did it. Thanks so much for the wonderful day.
Response from Host, Oct 2024

Spectacular forest environment. Sadly clouds and very heavy rain made it a real challenge. But well organised, good lunch.

My trek guide was friendly, relaxed and helpful and pushed me to finish the trek. Amazing to reach Mandara hut and Crater. Unlucky about the views of Kilimanjaro summit and Kenya from the creator as it was cloudy. Thank you so much for the experience.

Thomas was a fun and knowledgeable guide. It was a long day from Arusha but worth it. We saw 2 types of monkeys and beautiful birds. We also enjoyed learning some native songs along the hike.

I had a great Kilimanjaro day tour! The guide Dennis was super nice, attentive, explained a lot and took good care of me at all times. The scenery and the way to Mandara Hut was breathtaking and a real highlight of my trip. In fact, we did the route in about 5 hours including lunch break, but of course you can take longer, Dennis depends on your individual pace. Overall, an unforgettable experience that I can absolutely recommend!
