This itinerary offers a rare combination of adventure and wildlife, starting with a six-day trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. Following the scenic Marangu Route, you will hike through diverse landscapes, from lush rainforests teeming with wildlife to the alpine desert and the breathtaking glaciers near Uhuru Peak. The well-paced ascent includes an acclimatization day at Horombo Hut, increasing your chances of a successful summit while allowing you to fully experience the beauty of Kilimanjaro. Your journey is guided by experienced mountain guides and supported by a dedicated team of porters and chefs, ensuring a safe and comfortable trek.
After an exhilarating climb, your adventure continues with a wildlife safari in two of Tanzania’s most iconic national parks. You will start with a game drive in Tarangire National Park, famous for its massive elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. This park also hosts a rich variety of wildlife, including lions, giraffes, zebras, and over 500 bird species. The change from the high-altitude mountain environment to the vast African savannah allows you to unwind and immerse yourself in the beauty of Tanzania’s diverse landscapes.
Your safari culminates with an unforgettable visit to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most remarkable wildlife destinations in Africa. Descending into the crater, you will enter a natural sanctuary that supports an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including the rare black rhino, large prides of lions, and thousands of grazing herbivores such as zebras and wildebeest. The crater’s permanent water sources attract animals year-round, offering exceptional game viewing opportunities. As you conclude your journey, you will leave with lasting memories of both the thrilling Kilimanjaro trek and the breathtaking safari experience.
This journey allows you to experience the incredible geographical variety of Tanzania. From the dense rainforests of Kilimanjaro’s lower slopes to the rugged volcanic terrain at its peak, followed by the vast golden plains of Tarangire and the lush, wildlife-filled caldera of Ngorongoro, each day of your trip offers a strikingly different environment. Whether trekking through misty forests, standing on Africa’s highest summit, or watching elephants roam beneath ancient baobabs, the scenery is nothing short of spectacular.
Throughout your journey, you will have the opportunity to interact with local communities and experience Tanzanian hospitality. Before your climb, you can explore the lively town of Arusha, known for its colorful markets and vibrant culture. On the mountain, your guides and porters will share their knowledge of local traditions, while your safari experience will introduce you to the Maasai people, who have lived in harmony with wildlife for generations. These cultural encounters add depth to your adventure, giving you a true sense of Tanzania’s heritage and way of life.

Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met by our team and transferred to L’Oasis Lodge in Arusha. Here, you will meet your experienced Kilimanjaro guide for a final gear check and a pre-trek briefing. This session will help you understand the trek, safety measures, and what to expect on the mountain. Afterward, enjoy a relaxing evening and rest well before your climb begins the following day.
After an early breakfast at your lodge, you will be driven to the Marangu Gate, the starting point of your Kilimanjaro adventure. Here, you will complete park registration before beginning your ascent through the lush rainforest. As you trek, keep an eye out for black-and-white colobus monkeys swinging from the trees. After approximately 3-4 hours of hiking, you will reach Mandara Hut, where you will rest, enjoy a warm meal, and spend the night.
Today’s trek takes you out of the rainforest and into the heath and moorland zone. You will pass by the Maundi Crater, offering a spectacular view of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks. The landscape begins to change, with giant lobelias and groundsel plants dotting the trail. After a steady six-hour trek, you will arrive at Horombo Hut, where you will settle in for the night.
To improve your chances of a successful summit, you will spend the day acclimatizing at Horombo Hut. You have the option to take a short hike to Mawenzi Hut (4,600m) to further adapt to the altitude. This day helps reduce altitude sickness risks and ensures a smoother journey ahead. Meals will be provided at the hut, and you will have ample time to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
After breakfast, you will continue your ascent, crossing the alpine desert. You will have two route options, with the lower path being shorter. Kibo Hut, located at the base of the final ascent, serves as your resting point before the summit attempt. After an early dinner, you will receive a final briefing before getting some rest in preparation for the midnight climb to the top.
At around midnight, you will begin your summit attempt. The path to Gillman’s Point (5,681m) is steep and rocky, requiring determination. From here, you will traverse the crater rim to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa. Witness the breathtaking sunrise and take memorable photographs before descending back to Kibo Hut for a short rest and lunch. Afterward, you will continue your descent to Horombo Hut for an overnight stay.
After breakfast, you will descend through the lush rainforest back to Marangu Gate. Upon arrival, you will receive your summit certificate, celebrating your achievement. A transfer will take you back to Arusha, where you can relax at L’Oasis Lodge.
After breakfast, your safari adventure begins! You will drive to Tarangire National Park, home to massive elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. Enjoy a full-day game drive, observing a variety of wildlife, including lions, zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests. A picnic lunch will be served within the park before heading to your campsite for dinner and an overnight stay at Mbweha Campsite.
An early morning descent into the Ngorongoro Crater brings you face-to-face with a stunning concentration of wildlife. The crater, often referred to as the “Eden of Africa,” hosts an array of animals, including rhinos, elephants, and predators like lions and hyenas. You will visit Lake Magadi, a hotspot for flamingos and hippos, before driving back to Arusha in the late afternoon.
After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airport or bus station for your onward journey. If time allows, you can explore Arusha town before your departure.
