Getting There
-
Private Car
If you are traveling by private car, start from Moshi, which is a key town in the Kilimanjaro Region. Take the B1 highway heading towards Arusha. After approximately 15 kilometers, look for signs directing you to the local roads leading to Kilimanbure. Turn onto the road that leads towards Kilimanbure, which is about 25 kilometers from the highway junction. Follow the signs and local directions, as Kilimanbure is a smaller peak and may not be marked on all maps.
-
Public Transport (Matatu)
From Moshi, head to the Matatu (shared taxi) station located near the main bus terminal. Board a Matatu heading towards Arusha and inform the driver that you want to stop at the Kilimanbure turnoff. Cost for the ride will be approximately 1,000 TZS. Once you reach the turnoff, you may need to wait for a local motorcycle taxi (boda-boda) to take you the remaining distance to Kilimanbure, which should cost around 2,500 TZS.
-
Guided Tour
Consider booking a guided tour that includes transportation to Kilimanbure. Many tour operators in Moshi offer packages that include a vehicle, a guide, and sometimes lunch. Prices for these tours can vary, typically starting around 50,000 TZS per person, depending on the services provided. This option is recommended for those who prefer a hassle-free experience and local insights.
-
Hiking from Nearby Locations
If you are already near Kilimanbure, particularly in the surrounding lower regions, you can hike up to the peak. Begin at the nearest village and ask locals for the best trails leading to Kilimanbure. Please ensure you have sufficient water and supplies for the hike. This option is free but requires physical fitness and preparation.
