KILIMANJARO GENERAL MOUNT KILIMANJARO is a very special mount It’s the highest singular mountain in the world. That’s means it has the greatest ascent from its base to its summit. It’s easiest to climb of the seven summit, interestingly the 1950 version of the seven summits also two more Holy Mountains Mt. Blanc and Kosciusko and for us KILIMANJARO IS A HOLY MOUNTAIN The highest holy mountain by over 5000feet andMone of the 3 Holy mountain’s that contain special Energy. KILIMANJARO does not require any skills but instead a lot of walking, just over 40 miles and an ascent of about 13000 feet, spread over 6 days ascending and an ascent 2 days descending. Do not be put off be believing you are too unfit, too old, too young or too whatever. More that anything KILIMANJARO requires persistence and determination.

Amazing hiking experience in Kilimanjaro and Safari game drives!!
We booked Meru Slopes & Safaris for both our 7d6n Kilimanjaro hike via Lemosho route and for our 4d3n safari in Tarangeire NP, Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti NP. For our Kilimanjaro hike, our guides were Nicodemus and Ibrahim and both were very knowledgeable and experienced and took very good care of us. They were the extra step to find rental hiking gear as one of our friends had lost their luggage in transit and made sure that we were well-equipped. We had about 12 porters including 1 chef and they were all very helpful throughout our hike especially on the summit push. Sufficient rest was provided to us, and as the guides were experienced, they could tell just by looking at the skies how the temperature will be like. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Our guide for the safari through Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti NP was Julius and he was one of the best guides anyone can ask for. He was such a ball of energy and even though he was our driver and guide, he never once showed that he was tired or sick of seeing the animals and continuously helped us to look out for these. He was so welcoming and friendly and he made us feel so welcomed and at home throughout our safari. We were so upset when our safari trip came to an end with him. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Meru Slopes & Safaris and highly recommend to engage them!

If you only have a day but want to see at least some of Kilimanjaro.
My son and I were in Arusha doing some volunteer work at a school for orphans. We had a Saturday free and I've always wanted to climb Kilimanjaro. Lacking time, we'll have to come back to do the whole climb but our guide, Oscar, got us to the Mandara huts in fine form. It was a fantastic experience!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking your time to write your review. Kind regards Geofrey Nasari Director and sales

Private Day Tour and Hike in Kilimanjaro National Park: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does Private Day Tour and Hike in Kilimanjaro National Park cost?
+
Prices start at $300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arusha usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Day Tour and Hike in Kilimanjaro National Park take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Arusha is not rushed.
Is Private Day Tour and Hike in Kilimanjaro National Park worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Tour and Hike in Kilimanjaro National Park?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Day Tour and Hike in Kilimanjaro National Park suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour and Hike in Kilimanjaro National Park?
+
Around 1 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 Arusha 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 Arusha and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Tour and Hike in Kilimanjaro National Park 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 Arusha 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 Arusha?
+
On Outty we rank every Arusha experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arusha Guided City Tour &Hotel Pickup (History, Culture &Market, 5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai, Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs. 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 Arusha?
+
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 Arusha?
+
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.

+

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