Mweka Gate

Mweka Gate

Mweka Gate is the exit of Kilimanjaro Park, at 1,650 metres.
Mweka Gate, at an altitude of 1,640 metres, is where climbers complete their Kilimanjaro adventure. Situated in the lush rainforest of the mountain, it offers a place full of life and colour, where travellers have the opportunity to enjoy nature and breathe fresh air before returning to everyday life. The gate is the place where trekkers receive their certificates of success, exchange impressions and say goodbye to the team that accompanied them on their journey. The sounds of the birds, the dense foliage and the serenity of the forest create a final link to the mountain they have just conquered. Beyond its practical significance, Mweka Gate is a place where the effort to protect the environment is evident. Information centres and local activities remind us of the importance of preserving this unique ecosystem for future generations. It is a terminus that leaves visitors with a sense of accomplishment, but also a sense of responsibility towards nature.
