1. Experience Tanzania's Three Greatest Adventures in One Journey

This 13-day Tanzania group tour combines three unforgettable travel experiences: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, exploring Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and relaxing on Zanzibar's tropical beaches. Rather than arranging separate trips, travellers can enjoy a coordinated mountain, safari and beach itinerary with East Africa Jungle.

The Machame Route is renowned for its diverse landscapes, challenging trekking trails and spectacular mountain scenery. During the six-day climb, travellers experience rainforest, moorland, alpine desert and the dramatic summit environment. The itinerary includes an acclimatization hike to Lava Tower before descending to Barranco Camp.

The six-day route is physically demanding and offers less acclimatization time than longer alternatives. Proper fitness preparation and awareness of altitude-related risks are essential.

Following your Kilimanjaro adventure, explore two of Tanzania's most celebrated wildlife destinations. Enjoy game drives across the Serengeti's vast savannah plains and descend into Ngorongoro Crater, where lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras and numerous other species can be encountered.

Our shared 4×4 safari vehicles accommodate up to 6–7 travellers, providing an enjoyable small-group wildlife experience.

After reaching Stella Point, continue towards Uhuru Peak at 5,895 metres, the highest point in Africa. If conditions allow, celebrate your achievement and capture unforgettable photographs.
