On your way through the thick rainforest, you will come across twittering and chattering bird life, Colobus.

Your day trip begins with a hotel pickup in Arusha, then jump in for a relaxing drive to Marangu Gate for registration with the authorities before you begin your long-awaited hike. This route approaches the mountain from the southeast part.
