Departure

Kilimanjaro Int. Airport

Day 1: Moshi - Arusha National Park

Distance: Approx 22km
Terrain: Off road
Pick-up: 7am
Difficulty – Challenging

You will be picked up from your hotel in the morning and driven to Arusha National Park gate entrance. Your bike ride starts off with a gradual ascent as you head south of the park along the main dirt road where you will see plenty of baboons and blue monkeys. After cycling for about 2.5km, you will then take a 1km detour towards Margarete Trappe’s grave. Margarete Trappe also known as the “Iron Lady” was one of the early missionaries who lived in the area and was regarded as Africa’s greatest huntress. Here you will get a brief explanation about her history and impact on the area before continuing with your ride. After riding on the main road for a further 5km you will enter the Kilinga Loop, which spans 7km and traverses thick lush forest. Due to the canopy cover, the path can be muddy on some sections hence making it the most challenging (but fun!) sections of thtour. After completing the Kilinga Loop, you will then continue cycling gradually downhill along the main dirt road for about 3km towards the Ngongongare Gate where you tour ends. In order to ensure your complete safety and comfort, you will be accompanied with an armed ranger and support vehicle throughout your tour. Whenever you get tired you can just hop off your bike and onto the support vehicle.

Very luxury treatment Great experience! Once in a life time. I did the 6 days Marangu rout. All the Kilifootpint cru was amazing, very very professional and always available to help. When we were coming back from the peak they (the porters) came to give us some juice before arriving to the base camp. So they climbed some meters just to come and give us juice to help us continue our descent. When arriving to the hut they cleaned our shoes full of dust and gave us pop corns. A very luxury trip in this sense. They had some details with ud like bringing a lap to eat dinner with some light since in the huts there was not electricity. I am very satisfy with theri service 100% advice

Best Tour Company in Moshi This was indeed a life changing experience. Jackson and his team were the best! My flight larrived at 1 am and Jackson was waiting patiently for me at the airport and made sure I checked in before leaving. The actual climb experience was great from daily health checks, knowledgeable guides who made sure we were hydrated and well fed for climb. I can say more and more but I 100% recommend Kili footprints as your host when doing Mount Kilimanjaro climb. Thank you Kili footprints

Family and friends hike Lovely hike, with the best group and planned well by the best crew. Airline delayed our baggage but Jackson worked so hard to get us some hiking gear and make our hike a memorable one. We started off with a Maasai village visit before we went for our 7 day hike. Jackson put up a great team to help us with our hike, from his co-guides, to chef and to the porters, everyone was on point. Highly recommend Jackson and Kili footprints for any hiking excursions in Kilimanjaro

1 day Safari in Tarangire National Park We did a one day safari tour to Tarangire National Park with Jackson and his driver/guide George. Jackson is super friendly and did a great job booking this tour for us. The website has clear information about the different tours and Jackson replied quickly when e-mailing and made sure we hade a great experience. He booked us at a nice lodge in Arusha where we stayed the day before the safari and after. Jackson and his driver George picked us up early and we drove for 2 hours to the park. Well at the park we had a great experience with a lot of animals and ticking off 3/5 of the big five. George was a good guide with a lot of knowledge and experience. It was great to be just the two of us together with Jackson and George. We saw a lot of other cars that where packed with people so it was nice with a car for ourselves. They also prepared a delicious lunch for us which we enjoyed under a tree in the park which added to the genuine safari experience. We can really recommend Kili Footprints and especially Jackson. Great guide/host and he made sure we had a good time. He picked us up at the airport and drove us back there when we left. Great at English and an easy going guy. We already look forward to come back to Tanzania and do another adventure with Kili Footprints.

Greatest hikes of my life!!! I hiked meru and Kilimanjaro with kilifootprints and it was wonderful! I made both ascents and both guides were extremely knowledgeable about the route and terrain. I had a wonderful time and I'd highly recommending contacting Jackson. He's Swift to respond so were were able to set everything up on a few days notice.
