Kilimanjaro Machame Climb and Tanzania Safari

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), where you’ll be warmly welcomed by our team and transferred to your hotel in Moshi. Enjoy a briefing with your mountain guide, gear check, and time to relax before the trek begins. Overnight at a comfortable hotel in Moshi.

After breakfast, drive to Machame Gate (1,800m) and begin your Kilimanjaro climb. Hike through dense rainforest filled with birdlife and occasional monkeys. Arrive at Machame Camp (3,000m) for your first night under the stars, surrounded by mountain scenery.

Today, you ascend out of the rainforest and into the heather and moorland zone. Cross valleys and ridges with panoramic views before reaching Shira Camp (3,840m), set on a volcanic plateau. Relax and acclimatize with views of Kibo Peak.

Gain altitude as you hike toward Lava Tower (4,630m) for acclimatization, then descend to Barranco Camp (3,960m). This up-and-down route helps your body adapt to the high elevation and offers stunning views of the Western Breach.

After breakfast, tackle the iconic Barranco Wall — a steep but exciting scramble with rewarding views. Continue along undulating terrain to Karanga Camp (4,035m), a peaceful campsite nestled in a valley.

A short but important climb takes you to Barafu Camp (4,640m), your base before the summit attempt. Spend the afternoon resting, hydrating, and preparing for your early morning departure to Uhuru Peak.

Start your climb around midnight under the stars. Hike through the arctic zone to reach Uhuru Peak (5,895m), the highest point in Africa, by sunrise. After celebrating at the summit, descend through scree and moorland to Mweka Camp (3,100m) for a well-earned rest.

Enjoy a final breakfast on the mountain and descend through rainforest to Mweka Gate. Receive your summit certificate and meet your driver for transfer back to your hotel in Moshi or Arusha. Rest, shower, and celebrate your achievement.

Depart after breakfast for Tarangire National Park, known for its elephant herds and giant baobab trees. Enjoy an exciting game drive and spot wildlife such as lions, giraffes, and zebras. Overnight at a lodge or tented camp near the park.

Travel to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Descend into the crater for a full-day safari where you may see all Big Five animals. Picnic lunch inside the crater before returning to your lodge in Karatu or Manyara.

Start your final day with a morning game drive in Lake Manyara National Park, home to flamingos, hippos, baboons, and tree-climbing lions. After the game drive, return to Arusha or Moshi for drop-off at your hotel or airport transfer, depending on your flight schedule.
