Join us on an amazing safari adventure that will take you through Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Eyasi and Tarangire national parks.
Your adventure begins as you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you’ll be greeted and transferred to the serene town of Arusha. Visit Arusha National Park, a gem teeming with wildlife and dramatic landscapes. Marvel at the towering Mount Meru, shimmering Momela Lakes, and the awe-inspiring Ngurdoto Crater. The park’s diverse wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, and the elusive leopards, sets the stage for the adventures to come.
From here, the tour takes you to the magical Lake Manyara National Park, nestled between the Rift Valley escarpment and the soda-rich waters of Lake Manyara. Look out for tree-climbing lions, baboons, and majestic elephants as you traverse this unique landscape.
A stop at the ethereal Lake Natron offers a serene yet wild escape. Known for its vivid colors and as a breeding ground for flamingos, the lake is surrounded by dramatic scenery. Explore the nearby waterfalls and immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of this remote paradise.
Next, journey into the heart of Tanzania’s wilderness—the legendary Serengeti National Park. Experience the magic of sunrise game drives and witness the incredible spectacle of the Great Migration (season-dependent), where millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles traverse the savannah in search of greener pastures. Encounter big cats, elephants, and the recently reintroduced rhinos as you traverse the vast plains.
The adventure continues at the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, home to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. This Unesco World Heritage Site is a natural amphitheater teeming with wildlife, from lions to flamingos, all thriving in its unique ecosystem.
Finally, explore the stunning Tarangire National Park, renowned for its majestic baobab trees and enormous herds of elephants. As the Tarangire River attracts a diverse range of wildlife, you’ll witness captivating predator-prey interactions and some of Tanzania’s rarest species, including the elusive oryx.
This tour will not only show you the prime wildlife game parks and reserves but also offers a rare chance to experience the cultural part of Africa. Get closer to the only remaining hunter gatherer tribes of the Hadzabe and Datoga people who still make a living from hunting small wild animals and gathering of wild fruits.

Conquer Mount Kilimanjaro via the Machame route during this seven-day, guided trek. Dubbed the ‘whiskey route’, Machame is longer than most of the other routes. However, the opportunity to walk high and sleep low along with the distance to the top mean better acclimatisation for travelers along with a high success rate.
Your climb begins at Machame Gate, located at an elevation of 1800 metres. Hike through a majestic rainforest on the first day of this trip, before continuing up the mountain to reach Shira Camp, where the Lemosho route joins from the west. From here you traverse the southern side of the mountain to reach Barranco and climb the Barranco Wall on your way to Barafu Camp. Having summited the mountain, you will descend via the Mweka trail rather than retracing your steps down the Machame route.
The Machame route is a good seven-day hike for travelers with no experience of trekking in high altitudes. However, experienced mountaineers comfortable with high elevations may opt for the more difficult six-day ascent using the same route.
Please note that you will be joining a group during this tour.
My wife and I haven't spent much time in Tanzania, so I picked up this 2-day hike + safari package - and honestly, it was the highlight of our trip.
The first day walking the Kilimanjaro Light Trail to reach the Maundi Crater - mind-blowing in a word! And the next day I saw lions, elephants, giraffes in Tarangire National Park in front of my eyes. The guide was very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Everything is on time and hassle-free.
In my opinion, perfect for those who do not want to walk more, or have less time!
It was a challenging trip with all the long driving days just to set up camp and pack up the next morning to do more driving. I guess I didn’t realize how draining it would actually be . But overall , the activities made it a good experience and I will be happy to use G adventures again in the future

The Marangu route is perhaps the easiest and most comfortable route to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest peak. We will pick you up from your accommodation in Arusha and drive you to Marangu Gate. From there you follow the trail that takes you to the top of the mountain via Mandara, Horombo and Kibo huts.
The route is well-developed and the climb is constant and of moderate intensity. The only portion that is quite demanding is the approach to the summit. However, you also have the option of adding a day for acclimatization at an additional amount if you want to. The advantage of this route is that kiosks selling mineral water bottles, soft drinks, chocolates and beers are available in camp sites throughout the climb.
