    Breathtaking, Inspiring, Humbling

    The team at Moana went above and beyond for us on our 6 day trek to Uhuru peak. They were always there for us no matter the needs or requirements they made sure we were always comfortable on the mountain. My favourite part has to of been meeting with the guides and porters, they made the trip for us, always so informative on the history and traditions of the mountains, we were in awe of their knowledge. Emmanual and Onesmo were our guides, they made sure we got to the summit no matter the conditions and for that i am really grateful. I couldn't recommend them enough

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that you felt so supported by our mountain crew. We hope you had an unforgettable experience and we hope to welcome you back to Tanzania in the future!

    Custom approach

    Last week I climbed Kilimanjaro in less than 24 hours. It was no problem to arrange this special requirement with Moana. The communication were clear and fast and the services were customized to my specific needs. The guide (Gasper) did a great job of assessing the pace and scheduling breaks during the climb, so that I could summit with no problems.

    A great and professional tek

    I had a great tek with Moana to reach Kilimanjaro. The trip was well organized and Moana was very professional. As my friend became sick and i had finish alone I was very pleased that Moana could adjust the trip so we made it up and down within 72 hours in stead of 5 days. Reaching Mt. Kili in -20 and snowstorm was maybe not the best of luck, but it made a beautiful scenery. The cabins was nice, and as there was few people on the mountain we/I got a lot of space and it was easy to sleep without interuptions. The food was really good on the whole trip and it was more than enough to eat all the time. If there was something that i did not like it was the milk porridge. I did not have any expectations of getting friends on this trip, but the whole Moana crew were amazing. My boss guide, Emmanuel, brought me to the Summit and down with many good conversations , histories, and memories. I learnt a lot about Africa, Tanzania and Kilimanjaro. The other guide, Sanga, and the porters was also nice. It was great to talk with them, specially after I was left alone. Also nice to stay in touch after I got back to Norway. The crew made sure that you are comfortable, eat, sleep, and have everything you need. They motivates you and see it was their own pride to bring their customers to the top. I had to argue a bit to tell them I am used to the cold and did not have to dress as much as they wanted me to. Shorts in 5 degrees is fine. I recommend to climb Kilimanjaro. Moana is the perfect choice to bring you there.

    Trip of the lifetime in Tanzania

    If you want to trek Kilimanjaro with great, reliable guys, that help you and motivate you to the summit without any problems choose Moana Tanzania. We not only manage to climb up the mountain in a great time but also became friends and we all hope to have the chance to climb together again. Thank you, Moana!

    Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.

    How much does Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,350 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moshi is not rushed.

    Is Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moshi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moshi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Moshi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Half Day Tour, Kilimanjaro climb, Machame Route (7-day). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Moshi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Moshi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Emergency first-aid kit; Drinking water troughout the trek; GST (Goods and Services Tax); and Accommodation fees. Not included: Personal items and toiletries & personal mountainclimbing gear; Gratuities; Accommodation in Moshi before and after the mountain trek; and Travel insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 34 listed pickup locations in and around Moshi. Be ready about 100 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +
