Climb Kilimanjaro by the Marangu Route to Uhuru Peak, then spend two days on safari in Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater.

Highlights

  • Reach Uhuru Peak (5,895m), the highest point in Africa

This is a week built for active travellers who want Tanzania's famous peak and its wildlife in one trip. You start with five days on the classic Marangu Route, the "Coca-Cola Route", the only trail with dormitory-style A-frame huts. You climb through rainforest, moorland and alpine desert, then reach Uhuru Peak (5,895m) at sunrise. After coming down and celebrating, you switch straight to a two-day Northern Circuit safari. One day is in Tarangire National Park, known for its baobabs and big elephant herds. The next is in the UNESCO World Heritage Ngorongoro Crater, where you look for lions, rhinos and hippos from a private 4x4 Land Cruiser. Our local team handles pickup, guiding, meals, park fees and accommodation, so you can concentrate on the climb and the animals.
