Seven Day Kilimanjaro Climb with Three Day Wildlife Safari Packages
The Seven Day Kilimanjaro Climb with Three Day Wildlife Safari is an exciting Tanzania adventure combining a guided mountain expedition with wildlife viewing in northern Tanzania.
Your journey begins in Moshi, where you meet your mountain guide and prepare for the climb. Choose between the Machame and Lemosho routes, both known for their beautiful landscapes and challenging summit experiences.
During the seven day trek, you will pass through different mountain environments, including rainforest, moorland, alpine desert and the summit zone.
After completing the mountain expedition, return to Moshi for rest before continuing on a three day safari.
The safari can include Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, offering opportunities to observe lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras and other animals.
Alternatively, travelers can choose Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro, which involves less road travel than the Serengeti option.
African Trek & Travel organizes mountain guides, accommodation, safari transport and local travel arrangements according to the chosen package.
Recommended Tour
We recommend the 7 Day Machame Route, followed by one recovery day in Moshi and a three day Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari. This creates an 11 day core itinerary with opportunities to enjoy both mountain trekking and wildlife viewing.
