Kilimanjaro Climb & Tanzania’s Big Three National Parks: 11-Day Expedition

Kilimanjaro Climb & Tanzania's Big Three National Parks: 11-Day Expedition

10 nights 11 days

Climb Kilimanjaro, the highest peak on the African continent, and heal fatigue at a luxury hotel in Arusha. Experience a safari experience in Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Lake Manyara. For mountaineering, we choose the most popular ‘Ruta Marangu’. After a night in Moshi Town, a base for mountain climbing, we will try to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for 5 days.

To acclimatize to the altitude, you can organize two days in Holombot and climb for six days. Our experienced staff will assist you with safe mountaineering. Don’t worry about food or your luggage: let us take care of it, as well as mountain climbing accompanied by a main guide, a sub-guide, a cook and a porter. After going down to the mountains, we will go to Arusha to rest in a comfortable hotel.

From the next day, enjoy a two-day tour of Tarangire National Park and Serengeti National Park on the 1st, and at the end of the trip, stop by Lake Manyara.

Key aspects of this tour

Marangú route

The ‘Marangu Route’ is the most popular of Kilimanjaro’s six climbing routes, and the slope is gentle up to 4,700 m. Easy to climb for beginners and equipped with basic equipment. In addition, there are mountain shelters on the six Kilimanjaro climbing routes and there is no need to worry about rain.

Watch the sunrise from the top of Kilimanjaro

Let’s start climbing from noon to the top and adore the coming light. The sunrise seen from the top of 5,895 m will be so emotional and memorable as to forget the height of the summit.

Tour to three national parks

In a short period of time, we chose three locations, Tarangire, Serengeti and Lake Manyara, which are easy we will be able to see some different animals, curing our tiredness by observing / span span lang = ‘en’ tabindex = ‘0’ wild animals after climbing.

Masai Village Tour

Visit the Maasai people, a famous indigenous tribe in East Africa!

The Masai are indigenous peoples living in the area from southern Kenya to northern Tanzania. They are a nomadic tribe, moving across vast lands, grazing their cattle.

On this tour, you will experience traditional life, interacting with Masai people – this will make you see how they live, in relation to modern civilization as you know it.

From Tanzania, Arusha 2 days 1 night.

In the morning, we’ll pick you up at your Arusha property.
Drive along the western slopes of Kilimanjaro. Enjoy the view from the beautiful West Kilimanjaro.

When you arrive in a Maasai Village, the Chief welcomes you with a refreshing welcome drink. The Masai guides explain life and culture of the Maasai people. The morning tea ceremony ended with Masai’s traditional tea and food – wonderful hospitality.

In the afternoon we enjoy a walking safari. The guide is a Maasai warrior. We hear stories about rare herbs and trees growing in the countryside, wildlife and while walking we’re shown the tools that only they, use, and how they use them to hunt. Return to the village and take a break with fresh coffee and cake. As the sun sets, the Maasai gather and begin entertaining traditional songs and dances.

We then enjoy a barbecue buffet with the Masai people. Under the sky where the stars are full, it will be an unforgettable memory, spending time with them. In the afternoon, we stayed in the traditional Maasai house (hut). The next day, the sound of shrub drums played by the Maasai echoes in the meadow. You will have freshly baked bread rolls, jams, fruits, omelets and a delicious breakfast.

After breakfast, the driver will pick you up in the village.
Return to the Arusha hotel.

Serengetity Safari in a hot air balloon

At dawn of the meadow, beautiful hot air balloons slowly emerge with the sunrise. If you look down from the sky over the plain, where there are no wires, fences or roads, you will notice a world of nature that was not visible from the ground. You will enjoy an impressive air travel.

TOUR FLOW

We’ll leave the hostel or camp before sunrise. You may be able to see nocturnal animals moving in the dark.

The balloon will inflate, while you witness the launch preparations.

Due to the nature of the hot air balloon, the shape of ascent and the landing position will change depending on the direction and speed of the wind.
