Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Mandara Hut is the first overnight stop if you chose to climb Kilimanjaro in Tanzania via the Marango route. It is situated 2720 meters above sea level and approximately 5 hours from the start-of-walk at Marango gate. We passed here on October 12 2003 and placed this microcache in a safe but easy-to-find spot. See the spoiler picture to find the exact hidingplace!

The cache, a film canister, is put at a convienient hight over the ground.

Note on cache maintenance: Friluftsfrämjandet is planning tours to Kilimanjaro at least twice a year and someone will look for the caches and either post a log or a note on the relevant cache page and indicate the condition of the cache.

Not climbing Kili this time, we only went up to Mandara Hut and returned back Marango on the same day. Without luggage (and knowing we would relax the next day instead of climbing) we needed only 2 hours from the gate to to hut.

Fairly soggy we arrived at the Mandara Hut. The cache was quickly found and logged at 14:45. Thank you and greetings from Switzerland.
