5-Days Tanzania Safari and Kilimanjaro Hiking Tour package

5Arriving in Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania's northern safari circuit for your 5-Days Tanzania Safari and Kilimanjaro Hiking Tour, you will meet your guide and prepare for your adventure. After a hearty breakfast, you'll head to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its vast elephant population, with over 3,000 elephants roaming the park. The park’s landscape is marked by iconic baobab trees and the Tarangire River, attracting diverse wildlife, including lions, giraffes, and over 500 bird species. Enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by nature, followed by an afternoon game drive. Tarangire is particularly spectacular in the dry season (June to October) when animals gather around water sources. After a thrilling day, return to Arusha for dinner and rest, gearing up for the days ahead.

On Day 2, depart early for the famous Serengeti National Park, covering about 300 kilometers from Arusha. The Serengeti is celebrated for its stunning landscapes and rich wildlife, hosting the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras travel in search of grazing. Arriving around midday, you'll enjoy lunch at a lodge or a picnic amidst the savannah. In the afternoon, embark on a game drive to spot the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros. The Serengeti's vast plains and diverse ecosystems make it a wildlife paradise, especially during the migration season (June to September). After an exciting day, enjoy dinner at your accommodation, experiencing the sounds of the African night.

Day 3 offers a full day in the Western Serengeti, renowned for its varied landscapes, including riverine forests and open grasslands. These habitats support a rich array of wildlife, making it ideal for spotting predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs. You’ll start with an early breakfast before embarking on a morning game drive, where you might witness a lioness with her cubs or a herd of elephants. Enjoy a packed lunch within the park to maximize your wildlife viewing time. The Western Serengeti is less crowded than other areas, allowing for an intimate experience with nature. In the evening, enjoy a sunset game drive, capturing stunning photographs before dining under the stars at your lodge.

On Day 4, prepare for an unforgettable excursion to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This massive volcanic caldera, formed around 2.5 million years ago, is home to a rich biodiversity, including the endangered black rhino. After breakfast, descend into the crater, which is often referred to as a “Garden of Eden” due to its lush vegetation and abundant wildlife. You’ll have a chance to see the Big Five in one day, along with flamingos by the soda lakes. A picnic lunch is provided, allowing you to savor your meal amidst breathtaking scenery. After a full day of exploration, return to Arusha for a restful night, reflecting on the day’s adventures.

The final day of your tour begins with an early departure for Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak at 5,895 meters. Depending on the chosen route, such as Marangu or Machame, you’ll start your ascent amidst lush rainforests and diverse wildlife. The Marangu Route, known as the "Coca-Cola" route for its relative ease, features huts for overnight stays, while the Machame Route offers stunning views and a more challenging trek. As you hike, watch for unique flora, including giant lobelias and alpine vegetation. A packed lunch will be provided during your trek. After a day of hiking, you'll set up camp or reach a hut for the night, concluding your incredible adventure in Tanzania.
