Why Choose Package?

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, standing at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level. It is located in Tanzania, a country in East Africa known for its diverse wildlife and breathtaking natural beauty. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that attracts thousands of visitors every year.

There are several routes to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, with the most popular being the Machame, Lemosho, Marangu, and Rongai routes. Each route offers a unique experience and varying levels of difficulty, but all require a good level of fitness and proper acclimatization.

After climbing Kilimanjaro, many visitors choose to go on a Tanzania wildlife safari to explore the country's world-renowned national parks and game reserves. Tanzania is home to the "big five" (lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos) as well as a wide variety of other wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, wildebeest, and more.

The most famous national parks in Tanzania include Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara National Park. Each park has its unique landscape and wildlife, offering visitors a truly unforgettable safari experience.

A typical Tanzania wildlife safari includes game drives in open-air vehicles, guided walks, and cultural experiences with local tribes such as the Maasai people. Accommodations range from luxury lodges to tented camps, with options to suit all budgets and preferences.

Combining a Mount Kilimanjaro climb with a Tanzania wildlife safari is the perfect way to experience the best of Tanzania's natural wonders in one trip. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a first-time traveler, Tanzania has something to offer everyone.
