The sleeping accommodations and food were also excellent. We had absolutely nothing to complain about and didn't lack anything. This is a holiday I highly recommend to anyone who loves adventure.

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.
We recently completed a 10-day adventure in Tanzania and I can confidently say it was one of the most incredible and well-organized travel experiences of my life. The tour was a perfect combination of challenge, natural beauty, and wildlife—featuring a 7-day Machame Route hike up Mount Kilimanjaro, followed by a 3-day classic safari through Tanzania’s top parks.

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.

Tanzania safaris are all about getting back to the wild, living the way our predecessors once used to (well not exactly, you still live in excellent and highly luxurious accommodations). These safaris let you live in the midst of the African jungle, watch the wildlife as it comes to watch you, track predators deep in the bush and see some of the most unique species on the planet. African safaris are known to bring out the adventurer in you, and Tanzania is perhaps the best place to enjoy your African adventure.
In this tour, you are taken on game drive activities with local guides. Your guide is sure to passionate about taking photographs and can set you and the vehicle the right way and encourage the best use of light. Maximize your photographic opportunities by letting us place you in the hands of a private driver/guide in a private vehicle for part of the safari or for the whole trip. You will be taken to famous tree-climbing lions and groundwater forests of Lake Manyara; the worlds' unbroken caldera with its Big 5 animals - The Ngorongoro; and to the endless plains of the Serengeti famous for its annual wildebeest migration.

Our 8-day safari was an unforgettable experience! We were mesmerized by the wildlife of Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti. The sight of flocks of pink flamingos, lions in the trees, and the Great Migration was truly unique.
The accommodation was great, especially the view from Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. The knowledge and sincerity of our guides Benjamin and Focus made our experience even more special. This is a must-do trip for nature and wildlife lovers!

Selous Game Reserve is pronounced Selooo. It is the largest protected wildlife area in Africa with 45,000 Square Kilometers of wilderness. It is bigger than the size of Switzerland, bigger than the size of South Africa’s Kruger National Park and twice the size of the famous Serengeti National Park. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982. It is named after the Englishman Frederick Courtenay Selous (1851-1917) who used to hunt and explore in the area during the British colonial era in Tanzania.
Selous hosts the largest population of elephants, lions, leopards, sable antelope, African wild dogs, buffalos and hippos. The park is also home toTanzania’s largest river, the hypnotic Rufiji River bisecting the reserve and home to hippos, crocodiles and various water-associated birds. The river forms a complex network of channels, lakes and swamps that create one of the most outstanding ecological wildlife systems in East Africa.
Well-watered, Selous Game Reserve is also home to the ferocious yet attractive tiger fish and vandu catfish, the latter equipped with a primitive set of lungs which allows it to migrate from one landlocked pool to another. The Selous is also rich in, open woodland, grassy plains, mountains and forests.
We promise you a fantastic safari, wonderful surroundings, a great guide, and breathtaking views of our Mother Planet on this camping safari.
We kindly refer to the Itinerary for a day-by-day programme.
Overall, great experience. Brian has been extremely helpful in tailoring the itinerary for the safari and has assisted us all along the process.
Our guide, Henry, was always on time and truly did his best to show us all the possible animals within the visited parks. We've had nice lunches (with juice and wine) during the 7 days of Safari and the car was always sparkling clean in the morning when our guide was picking us up :)
Our safari was followed by a beach holiday in Zanzibar : Brian has arranged a pick-up at the airport for us. The hotel (Z hotel in Nungwi) was also great and the honeymoon package made our holiday unforgettable.
The safari is a magical experience everyone should have in a lifetime.

I would rate 5 Star for this Local Company
We had the absolute privilege of booking a safari with Kilisa Tours & Safari, and I can honestly say their service is nothing short of 5-star excellence. From the very first communication to the final day of our trip, the entire experience was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care.
Our guide was incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife and shared insightful knowledge about the animals, landscapes, and cultures. Every game drive was exciting and perfectly paced, and the accommodations selected by Kilisa Tours were comfortable and well-suited to the authentic safari experience.
I would recommend this service to anyone as they deliver not only on organization and expertise but also on creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the top things to do while visiting Africa. It offers mesmerizing experiences, and is a must-do for all adventure travelers. That said, choosing from the number of routes available can be a huge task. Luckily for you, we've done all the hard work, so that you can focus your energies on preparing for the most exciting adventure of your life.
The Lemosho route approaches Kilimanjaro from the west. Rather than simply intersecting Shira Plateau (like Machame), Lemosho crosses it from Shira Ridge to Shira 2 Camp, in a pleasant hike. Climbers encounter low traffic until the route joins the Machame route. Afterwards, Lemosho follows the same route through Lava Tower, Barranco and Barafu, known as the southern circuit. Including Arusha National Park but is Option,
The Lemosho route is considered the most scenic trail on Kilimanjaro, granting panoramic vistas on 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 Arusha 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.
Take a 7-day guided safari tour of Tanzania and see its rich wildlife. See large herds of elephants and other herbivores at Tarangire National park. Travel to the floor of the famous Ngorongoro Crater, known for having the highest concentration of carnivorous animals in Tanzania.
Follow the trails of wildebeests and other migratory herbivores at Serengeti National Park, one of the most popular safari destinations in Africa. Head for Lake Manyara next and enjoy watching hundreds of bird species in a single place.
We have prepared this budget-camping itinerary in such a way that it provide visitors with more time to explore African wildlife while cutting down on their travel hours. So hurry and book this tour now to enjoy your incredible wildlife safari trip in Africa.
