The Machame route is considered the best Kilimanjaro climbing route due to its highest summit success rate. Climbers acclimatize better at Barranco, making it easier and safer to reach the summit. Additionally, the Machame route is known for its stunning views and the scenic beauty of Mount Kilimanjaro. Opting for the Machame route offers several advantages, including a higher success rate of summiting and a better chance of acclimatization. Accommodation throughout the trek is provided in tented camps, ensuring hikers have a comfortable stay. Choosing a 7-day Kilimanjaro trek provides an added advantage, as it allows hikers to relax more at Karanga camp and prepare for the final section of the climb.

Marrying the best-loved locations of both countries provides a unique and exciting experience that can be tailored to suit your interests and budget. From safari lodges and tented camps to luxury boutique accommodation, this is your tour, and we want you to feel comfortable and engaged every step of the way. If you have designs on observing the great migration, when millions of wildebeest cross the Mara River and attempt to evade top predators, then any time between June and October is going to draw dramatic displays. Game drives in the Masai Mara, close to the Serengeti in Tanzania, are unforgettable. It’s important to note that a Kenya and Tanzania safari Tour can be tailored, starting with 1 night in Nairobi with a half-day free city tour, and completing in Arusha via Lake Manyara or Lake Nakuru. However, this is your trip, so if you fancy journeying in the opposite direction, then just let us know. The Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Amboseli National Park can all be experienced on a safari tour of Kenya and Tanzania.

Hakuna Matata and a warm welcome to Tanzania! Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime as we travel into the heart of this stunning country to get a true taste of African culture and community enrichment. We will get to know the country like locals as we embark on a week-long cultural exchange with a local school for girls, participating in activities with them as we grow to learn about both ourselves and our new friends. Together with our host students, we will participate in community enrichment projects, such as spending time with children at a local orphanage and learning about sustainable farming techniques. As we head up north, we’ll learn how to live the rustic, African way of life as we spend our days in the bush viewing wild game and our nights camping under the clear, starry skies. Our encounters with local tribes will give us valuable insights into how people have existed in the area for thousands of years and the many ways that they continue to preserve their cultures today.

A Guide to Adventure Travel in Tanzania
Locations
Located on the coast of Eastern Africa, Tanzania has a population of 47.6 million and welcomes a little over a million travelers every year. With fascinating tribal cultures as well as Arab and Indian influences, Tanzania is diverse not only in its flora and fauna, but also in its people.
Dar es Salaam. Historically a small fishing village, Dar es Salaam has grown into a multicultural hub with fabulous restaurants, historic buildings, and all the metropolitan sites you would expect from the largest city in Eastern Africa. It also happens to be the perfect jumping-off point (no, not literally! Although there are a couple bungee jumping spots in the area if that’s what you’re into.) for safari adventures in Tanzania. From Dar es Salaam, it will be easy for you to take a trip to Serengeti National Park to see some of the largest herds of lions, cheetahs, and zebras on the planet. We know you’ve been lifting up kittens like Baby Simba for years just waiting for this moment. The Serengeti will not disappoint; it is actually as gorgeous as a Disney movie (B.Y.O. Simba though).
Mafia Island. The most spectacular of the Spice Islands, this is a great place to call home for a few days while you check out the many adventures the Indian Ocean has to offer. Less of a Lion King fan and more of a Little Mermaid type? This is your spot. With some of the richest reefs in the world and a great diversity of ocean life, you can wave your little fin through cliffs and channels so breath-taking, even Ariel may have considered staying in the sea. Once you’re ready to dry off and soak up some sun, you’ll discover the sparkling white beaches are almost too good to be true.
Moshi. Nestled at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, this is the perfect resting stop before and after you make the climb up (at least part-way) Africa’s tallest mountain. The town itself has a lovely market to visit during down time, and is also quite close to a few safari destinations: Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara National Park, and Arusha National Park. The climate in this area is pretty warm, so you may be glad to find out about the popular nearby swimming holes, Marangu Waterfall and Lake Nyumba ya Mungu.
