Experience the very best of northern Tanzania on this immersive 4-day safari covering Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This journey delivers classic African wildlife encounters, with close-up sightings of lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, rhinos, and more across some of the continent’s most celebrated landscapes.
One of the standout moments is witnessing the Great Migration, where vast herds of wildebeest and zebras sweep across the Serengeti plains in one of nature’s most dramatic spectacles. The adventure also includes time in the Ngorongoro Crater—the world’s largest intact caldera—home to extraordinary wildlife density within a truly unique natural setting.
Evenings are spent in comfortable eco-friendly tented lodges, where you fall asleep to the sounds of the wild under African skies. With a private safari vehicle and an experienced driver-guide, this safari balances comfort, flexibility, and unforgettable game viewing.
Climb Mount Kilimanjaro on this scenic 7-day Lemosho Route, approaching the mountain from the remote western side along a lightly used trail. Widely regarded by experienced guides and past trekkers as one of the most beautiful—and most rewarding—routes, Lemosho offers a true sense of wilderness from the very first day. The trail crosses the expansive Shira Plateau, skirts the ancient Shira volcanic caldera, and traverses beneath Kibo’s dramatic southern ice fields.
Thanks to its gradual ascent profile, the route allows excellent acclimatization and plenty of time to enjoy the changing landscapes before joining other routes later in the climb. This itinerary also includes a rare overnight camp at the crater, adding an unforgettable highlight to the journey. The final summit push follows the Barafu Route, known for its striking views of Kibo as you climb toward the roof of Africa.

This 10-day base camp safari immerses you in the splendor of Arusha, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Eyasi, and Tarangire. From the moment you arrive in Arusha, you’ll be greeted by dramatic landscapes and wildlife encounters, including elephants, giraffes, and elusive leopards in Arusha National Park.
Travel through Lake Manyara’s lush forests, spotting tree-climbing lions and herds of baboons, before pausing at the ethereal Lake Natron—famed for its flamingos and otherworldly colors. The heart of your journey lies in the Serengeti, where sunrise game drives offer the chance to witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration (when in season) and spot big cats, rhinos, and herds of wildebeest traversing the vast plains.
Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheater brimming with wildlife, then venture to Tarangire National Park, celebrated for its iconic baobab trees and thriving elephant populations. Beyond wildlife, this tour opens a window into Tanzania’s cultural tapestry: meet the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes, experiencing traditional hunting and gathering firsthand.

Embark on a 6-day Mount Kilimanjaro climb via the Rongai Route, approaching the mountain from the north near the Kenya–Tanzania border. This lesser-used route remained largely untouched for many years due to its sensitive location, making it one of the quietest approaches to the summit.
Now fully open for trekking, the Rongai Route is considered by experienced guides to be easier than the popular Marangu Trail, with a high summit success rate and scenic, gradual ascent. The trek begins through cultivated farmland and forest, offering occasional wildlife sightings, before continuing through multiple climate zones on the way to Africa’s highest peak.
If summiting Africa’s highest peaks is on your bucket list, the Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route Trek offers a spectacular eight-day adventure to the “Roof of Africa.” This route, celebrated for its scenic beauty and lower crowds, guides trekkers across the sweeping Shira Plateau and through diverse ecosystems, from rainforests to alpine deserts. The Lemosho Route is renowned for its superior acclimatization schedule, which greatly increases your summit success rate—an impressive 90% for those taking the full eight-day itinerary.
Starting at Londorossi Gate, you’ll journey through shifting landscapes and circle around Kilimanjaro for ever-changing vistas. The final push to the summit is both challenging and exhilarating, but varied routes and gradual ascents give physically fit hikers their best chance to reach Uhuru Peak. The descent follows the classic Mweka Trail, ensuring new sights until the journey’s end.
With a focus on trekking and altitude adventure, this tour package is designed for experienced hikers seeking stunning panoramas and a genuine sense of achievement. The unique selling point is clear: an expertly guided, high-success trek along Kilimanjaro’s most picturesque and rewarding path.
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.
