We did a one day climb on Mount Kilimanjaro last Friday, we went to the first gate and returned. It was about 15 miles round trip and took about 6 hours. There are 7 different routes climbers can take and the one we took was called Marangu. You cannot climb Mount Kilimanjaro without a guide and we had 2, Deo and Thomas. The climb is pretty steep and the path is full of tree roots and rocks so you have to keep your eyes on your feet at all times. There was also off and on rain so the path was slippery and muddy in places. It was a great experience!
