We were well cared for and had a great time throughout the trek. The guides really helped our success of reaching the top. Thank you to the whole team!
This safari is a combination of game-driving safaris through Tanzania Northern national parks, cultural destinations and unspoiled wilderness; give the first time visitor a true "Taste of the North."
Your nights will be spent under the stars in a mix of lodges, permanent tent camps, and mobile tented camp. Wake up in your own private camp in the heart of the Ngorongoro plains to the soft sound of Maasai cow bells as a new day begins over The Great Rift Valley.
This safari is designed to not only provide you with an exceptional opportunity to encounter the Big 5, but also to position you in the perfect spot to experience the Great Migration. This is a trip to Africa that truly has it all.
This safari is an awesome display of nature with over two million wildebeests, zebras, and antelope traveling over 450 miles across the plain to ensure their survival, unaware that there's danger presented by the stalking lions and cheetahs, among other predators . The huge crocodiles of the Mara River also await as the herbivores prepare to cross the Mara river and enter into Masai Mara Game Reserve from Serengeti National Park.
This unique Week in the Wild tour lets you experience the best of African wildlife and allows you to see and enjoy the wild animals at their undisturbed best while keeping you close to man-made comforts and luxurious accommodation. Truly, this tour will be the best week of your life.

My husband and I decided to climb Kilimanjaro as part of our honeymoon trip to Tanzania. Our tour operator was absolutely brilliant from the word go! Our team, and especially our guides, Rashid and Osmani, went above and beyond to help us reach the summit. They were so friendly, professional and every detail was taken care of - including providing hot water bottles for our sleeping bags in the cold nights. Our guides were only too happy to show us extra insight about the mountain, as well as teaching us some Swahili! We couldn't have made it to the summit without their help and support. All 7 members of the team (porters,chef, waiter, guides) were keen to meet us and even performed a song for us, which was really moving. Although we spent less time with the porters and chef team, when we did see them they were always smiling and keen to talk to us, and did all their tasks with enthusiasm. The level of customer service we experienced was outstanding and we cant think of anything that could have been improved. We will have amazing memories of this trip, thank you so much!!

With many fascinating natural resources, rich culture and the most hospital people in the world, Uganda is the pearl of Africa! And indeed there is no better place to spend a holiday than here. This 7-day safari experience is a perfect opportunity to see the wondrous mountain gorillas and other famous animals in a variety of parks in Uganda.
On this safari experience, go on game drives and a boat cruise, go chimp tracking in the jungle and come face to face with wild gorillas on a trekking adventure. Experience the stunning scenery and views of the local communities. A flight from Entebbe to Kihihi will help cut the long driving time to Bwindi Gorilla Park, before a leisurely game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park. A cruise on the Kazinga channel has a lot of birdlife and game to offer for your viewing pleasure.

Our Marangu route Kilimanjaro trek last week was incredible. We had the best service from the crew of experienced guides and porters. They were experienced on guiding travelers and knew what to do at all times.
Trekking up Kilimanjaro is fun and enjoyable, despite the difficult sections close to the summit, however our crew led us through them.
Service was top class, good waterproof tents, comfortable sleeping bags, good food and regular health checks. We had the best of everything!
I highly recommend this local travel specialist for Kilimanjaro
The 7-day Lemosho route is considered the most scenic trail on Kilimanjaro, granting panoramic vistas from various sides of the mountain. As one of the newer routes, Lemosho is a superb choice for your climb. It is our preferred route due to its ideal balance of low crowds, beautiful scenery and a high summit success rate.
The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the west, beginning with a long drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate. From there, the first two days are spent trekking through the rain forest to Shira Ridge. The Lemosho route crosses the entire Shira Plateau from west to east in a pleasant, relatively flat hike. Crowds are low until the route joins the Machame route near Lava Tower. Then the route traverses underneath Kilimanjaro's Southern Ice Field on a path known as the Southern Circuit before summiting from Barafu. Descent is made via the Mweka route.
We specialize in guiding on the Lemosho route and receive excellent reviews from climbers. Most of our clients climb Kilimanjaro using this route and they consistently report that they loved it. Thus, Lemosho is highly recommended!
NB: With small Additional cost we can book for you accommodation before or/and after summiting Mount Kilimanjaro.
We were not disappointed and every single day was incredible, which we will remember for the rest of our lives! From out tour manager in Arusha office, who was very responsive over the course of our research on the operators to our guide and the driver - everything was impeccably organised, we wouldn’t change a thing.
The chosen lodges, selected routes, responsiveness to action or drive where needed, time estimation, food and patience as well as respect to all humans as well as animals left us speechless. I recommend them to everyone and already did to my friends. Thank you to the whole team, we will cherish this honeymoon memories forever!!! Thank you for making it special.

One of the best safari to indulge in while traversing Tanzania’s best protected areas for Big five viewing, from big herds of Elephants in Tarangire, to the tree climbing lions of Lake Manyara, to the big cats and spectacular wildebeest migration in Serengeti, to the rare rhinos in Ngorongoro.
During this safari you will get to see some of the best national parks in the world - each park having its own unique features, flora, and fauna.
The trip starts and finishes in Arusha. The last day of the safari ends at the airport for your evening flight. If you're flight is at another time, we will of course manage that as well. We are glad to help you book an extra night in Arusha on your behalf if you need it.
If you're a wildlife and nature enthusiast at heart, this trip is definitely one you don't want to miss! We kindly refer to the Itinerary for a day-to-day overview of this trip. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us here at Bookmundi.

Also known as the “Whiskey” route, the Machame route is now the most popular ascent route on Mt Kilimanjaro. Compared with the Marangu route, the walking days on the Machame route are longer and the walks are steeper. However, the scenery is spectacular and landscape interesting. The Machame route is considered a difficult route, and is better suited for more adventurous trekkers and those with some hiking or backpacking experience.
The Machame route is scenically beautiful and varied. However, due to its popularity there are increased numbers of trekkers, it loses some of its splendour. The Machame route approaches the summit from the southwest and descends using the Mweka route, rewarding climbers with views of the expansive Shira Plateau, an optional scramble up Lava Tower, a climb up the Great Barranco wall, and a traverse underneath Kilimanjaro’s southern ice field.
Climbers sleep in supplied tents at designated campsites, and eat meals either outdoors or inside a large dining tent, depending on weather conditions. Bless Africa Tours staff will prepare all meals and set up and take down the tents.
The Machame route is a highly successful route to the summit as you climb high and sleep lower because of position of the campsites, which aids acclimatization. It also offers the opportunity to take an alternative route to the summit, either via Barafu camp or the less frequented and more difficult Western breach route. The minimum number of days required for this route is six days, although seven days is recommended to make the walk more enjoyable and improve acclimatization.
After arrival in Moshi and the hotel, there will be the opportunity to rest. Later there will be a meeting with the tour guide for a briefing about the trek and Mt Kilimanjaro and, very importantly, an equipment check.
The Rongai route is the only route that approaches Kilimanjaro from the north, close to the Kenyan border. Though gaining popularity amongst climbers, Rongai has low traffic. It is the preferred route for those looking for an alternative to the crowded Marangu route, for those who would like a more remote hike, and for those who are climbing during the rainy season (the North side receives less precipitation).
The Rongai route is one of the easiest route up to Kilimanjaro summit and it joins the Marangu route at Kibo hut. The minimum number of days required for this route is six days, and seven days are recommended. We have designed the trip for 7 days as that will allow for proper acclimatization on the mountain.
Wildlife can be seen on the lower slopes such as buffalo's, Elephants, Baboons and monkeys together with different species of birds.
Although the scenery is not as varied as the western routes, the Rongai route makes up for this by passing through true wilderness areas for days before joining the Marangu route at Kibo camp. On the way down this route goes together with the Marangu route.
The Rongai route as such is a moderately difficult route and relatively easier than other routes up Kilimanjaro. It is therefore highly recommended, especially for those with less backpacking experience, as the probability of reaching the summit will be higher.

"It was incredible opportunity to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route with this travel operator. From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. I am thrilled to share my overwhelmingly positive review of their services.
First and foremost, the professionalism and expertise of the entire the Kilimanjaro team were evident from the moment I made my initial inquiry. Their prompt and informative responses to all of my questions instilled confidence and excitement for the adventure ahead. They provided detailed information about the Machame Route, its highlights, challenges, and what to expect at each stage of the climb. Thanks FASA our guide for making our trek memorable.

"It was my pleasure to plan my family’s trip to Tanzania with this company. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and the trip was well prepared by our travel advisor Joan, and Goodluck, our guide, was a true good luck. We managed to see all the Big 5 in just two days and our safari went very smoothly.
We finished our trip in Zanzibar Islands where the company organized the airport transfers on time. The choices of accommodations was the best. Thank you for making our trip unforgettable. Cheers!"

Tanzania is home to the best and most exciting trekking adventure of Africa, the fascinating Mount Kilimanjaro, rising to a height of 5,895 meters. The mountain is the tallest in the continent and is also known as the rooftop of Africa. This tour takes you along the Machame Route, arguably the most scenic route to the top fo the mountain. The trek starts in a dense rainforest, makes way through giant heather zoons, continues onto moorlands and finally culminates in highland deserts. As a result, you get to see a vast variety of sights and attractions, unique wildlife and exotic birds, and some of the most beautiful scenes on the planet.
Each night we will stay in mountain dome tents where you will enjoy meals prepared by our mountain camp chefs. You will be led by a local Tanzanian guide whose expertise and vast knowledge of the mountain you will notice as he explains fascinating details about the route, flora and fauna. He will also attend to the endless details that make a climb successful and will look out for your safety.
One day before your climb, you will meet and greet with your mountain guide from Kanuth Adventure Safari for a breefing about the climb.
