The seven day Machame route trek is the ideal schedule for this route. On the 7 day Machame route tour, the trek from Barranco to Barafu is broken up into two days, allowing for some rest just prior to the summit attempt. This is important because summit day begins very early, around midnight, and trekkers usually call this the toughest day on the mountain. By having a short day beforehand, trekkers can be better rested, making it possible to enjoy the tour for all its beauty.
After having climbed Mt Kilimanjaro, you will follow up by short safari to the most beautiful national parks of Tanzania - the Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater for great wildlife views and game drive.

This is a lesser known route which usually begins on the western side of Mount Kilimanjaro. Lemosho route is one of the newer routes on the mountain, and a superb choice for your climb. It is our preferred route due to its ideal balance of low traffic, beautiful scenery and a high summit success rate. Most of our clients use this route and love it.
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 rainforest to Shira Ridge.
Unlike the popular Machame route, which simply intersects the Shira Plateau, the Lemosho route crosses the entirety of the plain from west to east in a pleasant, relatively flat hike. An added bonus is that climbers will 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. Descent is made via the Mweka route.

This route, with its steep passages and higher altitudes, offers you occasional views of Mount Meru, Shira Ridge and Kibo summit as you make your way through lush rainforest, moorland and alpine desert.
The Machame Route, with its diverse landscape and fantastic views, offers a unique experience to test your will power, fitness finesse and mental strength. The route takes you through lush rainforest, where colobus monkeys roam, into heath and moorland, with its many ferns and ericas, until finally reaching the icy caps of the mountain top. Overnights on the Machame Route will be in tents. It is not difficulty to climb because you will be guided by our professional tour guide.

This 4 Days Serengeti, Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater Safari Tour will take you through the Northern Safari Circuit in Tanzania. Primarily, you will be visiting Serengeti National Park, Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.
A visit to the Ngorongoro Crater is an experience of a lifetime. There are few places that have wildlife densities and variety at this level. It is not unusual to see the Big Five in one day-and all this in the most amazing setting with a backdrop of the 600m/1968ft high crater wall.
Lake Manyara National Park provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa might reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day. Highlights include thousands of pink-hued flamingos on their perpetual migration, as well as other large waterbirds such as pelicans, cormorants and storks.
There is more to Serengeti than large mammals. Gaudy agama lizards and rock hyraxes scuffle around the surfaces of the park’s isolated granite koppies. A full 100 varieties of dung beetle have been recorded, as have 500-plus bird species, ranging from the outsized ostrich and bizarre secretary bird of the open grassland, to the black eagles that soar effortlessly above the Lobo Hills.
Please refer to the itinerary to find out what you'll be doing each day on this safari tour.

Falling asleep to the hooting of an owl or waking up to the roar of a lion is what you will experience in this tour! Sure, there are a number of luxury lodges in and around these national parks, but what's the point of going into the wild, if you're not going to experience nature at its beautiful best. And who said camping safaris can't be luxurious. We offer the perfect combination to nature lovers and to those looking for a break from civilization. We let you enjoy camping at its best and ensure that you actually get to live in the wild and let all your dreams come true.
This tour 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, where nearly 1.5 million Wildebeest and nearly half a million Zebra make their endless migration in search of fresh pastures.

Join us on this seven-day, guided trip to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. This tour is for those wanting to conquer Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route, one of the most favored routes to summit Kilimanjaro because of its high summit rate and great scenery.
This route is less crowded compared with other routes, making it perfect for first-time trekkers. Also, since it takes more time to reach the top through this route, it provides better acclimatization to climbers/trekkers, increasing the chances of a successful summit.
Your trek starts on the western side of Kilimanjaro from Londorossi Gate. Continue your journey through the rainforest to reach the Shira Plateau. At this point, the trail moves east to the Lava Tower from where it heads down to Barranco Camp. Continue your journey to Karanga Camp followed by Barafu Camp, the final camp before your summit attempt.
Descend to Mweka Hut from the summit and drive to Moshi, where you will spend your last night. Included in the tour price is a two-night stay in Moshi, one night each before and after the climb. For more details, please go through the itinerary below.

Want to experience “Wild Africa” in an authentic way? A camping safari is just for you! Tanzania Budget Camping Safari packages are the most pocket-friendly way of exploring the beauty and diversity of African wildlife. Many of our visitors choose to stay in tents in order to get closer to nature and stay within the National Parks’ stunning landscapes.
Those who choose this option, will have their tents assembled for them each evening and collapsed again in the morning by our staff, with the tents being packed away and stored on the vehicle, for use again the following evening. Tanzania Budget Camping safaris are essentially rewarding experiences because visitors get to participate in an authentic African adventure, while enjoying all services of safari drivers, guides, and a chef to take care of all their needs, preparing delicious food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Tarangire National Park may be located slightly off the main safari route in Tanzania, and this is why you should always visit this spectacular park. The park is most famous for its elephant migration and huge elephant herds, but it is equally popular for its undeniable birding adventure and authentic safaris. In fact, this is one of the most unexplored national parks of Africa.
Next up on your African safari is the Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti really doesn't need any introduction. Home to the Great Migration, this is where all your African dreams and adventures come true.
Last but not the least, we take you to the Ngorongoro Crater, a magnificent caldera that makes it possible for you to see the Big 5 in a single day. The caldera has been cut off from the external world due to its high crater rims, and this means that the wildlife found within the crater is as breathtaking as it gets.
