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.

Ljubica B2025-01-14Verified Absolutely incredible and a bucket list item checked! Incredible experience. My friends and I had a goal of reaching Uhuru Peak of Mt Kilimanjaro on New Years Day and to see the first sunrise of 2025 on top of the mountain and that is exactly what we got. Our guides were incredible. Setting a great pace that allowed us to walk for longer periods without too many breaks. They were so knowledgeable and very considerate and caring of our wellbeing. Overall a wonderful experience and I would recommend Leken Adventure to anyone attempting to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. Xavier M2025-01-10Verified 10 Day Kilimanjaro, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Extravaganza Wow, just wow, what an amazing experience.Guided by Aggrey, Benny and Atana, myself a 4 friends undertook the 7-day machame route to climb Kilimanjaro. They were incredibly knowledgeable, kind and astute guides, and made sure we were happy and safe at all times. Supported by Samson, Eli, Patrick, Bruce and many others, we were incredibly well fed and looked after. This culminated in a successful summit day with all 5 of us topping out, with only minor altitude struggles.Asante sana once again to all you amazing people.We were then looked after by Joachim for two days and shown around the Tarangire national park and the Ngorongoro crater. We saw all sorts of animals but the highlights were several big herds of big elephants and an almost touching distance encounter with 3 lions (their trajectory was skilfully predicted by Joachim).I could not recommend Leken more to anymore looking for an adventure in East Africa. abl2025-01-07Verified Amazing Kilimanjaro and safari tour I had an amazing Kilimanjaro and safari tour with Leken Adventure. Alex ensured a seamless trip with a well-planned itinerary. Thanks to the professional guides, I reached Uhuru Peak and saw the Big Five. Highly recommend! Alessandro R2024-12-08Verified Kilimanjaro trip We have climbed Kilimanjaro through Marangu Route (6 days). It has been a great and emotional experience. Our guides ( Aggrey and Leonard) were amazing and professional. A mention also to all the porters that help us during this adventure. Really recommended.Also the accommodation before and after the hike is very good. Abigail S2024-11-08Verified DON'T HESITATE- BOOK IT. Amazing!! We booked with Leken about a year before our travel. They were very responsive and informative with all our questions—and we had a lot! The support was impressive from the time we booked, throughout our travels and continued after we left. They easily accommodated a few glitches during our trip. I found them very responsive, affordable and reliable.We summited Kilimanjaro via the Machame route, a seven-day trek. Our guide, Aggrey, was outstanding! He and his team—guides Ben and Jose, Chef Eduardo, assistant George, and all the amazing porters—supported our trek to the top with encouragement, excellent food, laughs, stories, singing and smiles. One of our group had the sole of his hiking boot fall off on day 2 of our trek. Eduardo SEWED IT BACK ON! With what? How? I have no idea, but it held through to day seven and allowed us all to summit together. They were a true dream team! We were then taken on an amazing 4 day safari with guide Joachim and our chef, Inocent. Muah!! THE ANIMALS!! THE BEAUTY OF THIS COUNTRY CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. If you are taking the time to go to this part of the world, just go ahead take the time to go on Safari. You will not regret it. Camping in Serengeti National park was an activity of a lifetime. We misunderstood our dates, and found on our arrival that we would have an extra day in Africa after our adventures. Leken scheduled us an activity on that day with transport, lunch and a second night in our hotel at minimal expense. That last day was swimming in a true local osasis that we we never could have experienced without them. This company is not offering the fancy or luxurious packages that the expensive companies tout, but all the accommodations were more than adequate and the customer service of every single person affiliated with Leken was 5 star. Marina T2024-09-26Verified climbing Kilimanjaro Vary good organisation of our whole Kilimanjaro experience. Without Aggre Mhalu and Leonard Lyimo, I would not have achieved my dream of being on top of Africa. Everyone who took care of us was extremely helpful, caring and positive. Highly recommend, these are your Kilimanjaro people! Яна Ч2024-09-24Verified The best experience ever Big thanks to the entire team that took care of us during the Kilimanjaro adventure. Especially to our guides Aggre and Leonard, who were with us and provided us with an incredible experience." Melissa M2024-08-15Verified Amazing adventure Me and my boyfriend decided to climb Kilimangiaro almost a year ago. During all this time we were followed in every request. Even during the adventure, the team supported us with every problem and helped us during the most intense times. The food was delicious, we never felt hungry!The guides are well prepared and kind.If we managed to do the climb is also thanks to them! Dressed t2024-08-14Verified Strong team and wonder safari We have gone with Leken Adv. to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro in a 4 days safari. Everything just goes way better than our expectation. Me and my wife just finished a safari in Masai Mara and forced to change the original Kilimanjaro trekking to safari for personal reasons. We actually did not expect that much, as this could be very similar to what we had in Masai Mara. But things are not so after we spent the four days with our chef and our guide.We told our guide, Anwar, to show us more small animals and birds as the beginning, cause we have seen the big five. I knew it’s very hard, cause the grass is just too long after the rain season. But he had made it! Sometimes, we just didn’t know why we stopped the car, until he shown us what’s going on with some tiny animals in the near.Also I should say, Leken Adv. is a strong team, there could always be this and that issue during the safari, but our guide is always able to find someone helpful. One more thing, don’t feel bad about camping in Simba campsite, especially after you read about the reviews in TripAdvisor about that place. The facility is not perfect, but you will have a chance that a zebra, a warthog or even a rhino just sleeps (or runs) 5 metre away from your sleep bag. The only separation is the wall of the camp. This is something you won’t have elsewhere!Again, thank you so much to the whole team of Leken! Vadim C2024-07-27Verified A unique experience, reliable organizer, i recommend! We climbed Mount Kilimanjaro on the Machame route and we did two days of safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater Nature Park. Everything was well organized, Asante Sana!
