    Do you provide airport pick up?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Travel Africa Safari AgencyOperator•Written June 2023

      Yes please we provide round-trip airport transfer. On arrival, our driver will be at the airport on arrival holding a board with your name on it and our company logo and transfer you to Arusha. Also, we will be providing free pre-hiking accommodation on the day you arrive at Senator Hotel and the day after hiking.

    Samuel

    Asked on June 18th, 2023

    Is it good for beginners hike? I did hikes in the past but not the high altitude hikes.

    Tour Details
    • Travel Africa Safari AgencyOperator•Written June 2023

      We think this is the best route because it is at least the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope. It is also the only route that offers sleeping huts in dormitory-style accommodations.
