Set your sights on Africa’s highest peak with a seven-day Mount Kilimanjaro climb along the scenic Lemosho route—an adventure designed for young adults and seasoned explorers alike. This private, guided trip begins in Arusha, whisking you to the remote Londorossi Gate, where your ascent truly begins.

This route is favored for its high summit success rate and the breathtaking, ever-changing scenery you’ll encounter each day.
Your trek includes key milestones: camping at Shira Camp 2, navigating the challenging Barranco and Barafu camps, and ultimately reaching Kilimanjaro’s famed summit. The descent via the Mweka route completes your circuit, ensuring that you experience the mountain’s varied faces. Throughout, you’ll be supported by experienced guides who prioritize your safety and enrich your climb with insights into the mountain’s ecology and culture.
For those craving an unforgettable trekking adventure with a strong chance of summit success, this tour package is unmatched. The unique selling point of this trip lies in the combination of remote natural beauty, a less-crowded path, and a proven record of helping climbers achieve their Kilimanjaro dreams.

Experience the stunning wildlife and scenic beauty of Tanzania on this 6-day safari trip! Don't worry about anything; your meals, accommodation, and transportation are all covered on this private tour. We are also open to changes if you wish to adjust the itinerary.
First, we spend a few days in Mikumi National Park, which lies alongside the Northern border of Africa's biggest Game Reserve - the Selous Game Reserve. The open horizons and abundant wildlife of the Mkata Floodplain, the fashionable centerpiece of Mikumi, draw frequent comparisons to the more famous Serengeti Plains. More than 400 bird species were recorded, the lilac-breasted rollers, yellow-throated longclaws, and bateleur eagles joined by a host of European migrants during the rainy season.
Next, we visit Ruaha National Park, the second-largest national park in Tanzania which covers an area of about 22,000 km². It is one of Tanzania's few famous wilderness areas, whereby the experience of game viewing is spiced up by the exciting landscape and the Great Ruaha River. The park has a high concentration of elephants and magnificent mammals and a habitat for endangered wild dogs, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, elands, impalas, bat-eared foxes, and jackals.
Last, we spend a day and a half at Udzungwa, the most significant example of the Eastern Arc Mountains' natural world, which runs in a chain through the whole of Tanzania. The forest makes Udzungwa unique in East Africa, and there is no other place with unbroken series of wood stretching from an altitude of 250 meters up to more than 2000 meters.

This Safari begins with a visit to the famous Sweetwaters Game Reserve is 90,000-acre private ranch with magnificent views across the plains to the snow capped peaks of Mount Kenya.
The Chimpanzee Sanctuary is most informative and entertaining and should be visited while in the Game Reserve.The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary is incorporated within the Ol Pejeta Conservancy and is the only place in Kenya where this highly endangered and remarkably intelligent species can be seen.
Next you will visit Lake Nakuru National Reserve which is well known to host largest populations of both lesser and greater flamingos.
The Lake Naivasha and its surrounds are rich in natural bounty, and the fertile soils and water supply have made this one of Kenya’s prime agricultural regions.
The Masai Mara Game Reserve – Kenya’s most famous and finest game sanctuary.
In the months of July to October each year, the wildebeests in their troops arrive at the Kenyan border, ready to cross the steep banks of the broad and fast flowing Mara River.
This crossing is truly the greatest episode of the entire migration. Hot on their heels are the predators of the savannah –lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and vultures.
The banks of the Mara River provide one of the best vantage points to witness the drama.
The Mara also offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe: over 450 species of animals have been recorded here.
You will most likely see the Big Five- lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard, and elephant. Not to mention numerous plain animals.
