MOUNT KILIMANJARO, Tanzania

Spend seven days climbing the great Mount Kilimanjaro from the east side, on the more private Rongai Route
Reach Africa’s highest point for breathtaking views over the Mawenzi

Embark on an unforgettable adventure to climb Africa’s highest peak – one of the world’s largest volcanoes.

Join your expert guides on a challenging seven day climb up Mount Kilimanjaro from the eastern side of the National Park, to go off the beaten track with the Rongai Route. This less populated trek takes a relatively gradual ascent with a high chance of some fantastic wildlife sightings. Stop at camping points along the way as you spend your days ascending the iconic peak. Climb to the 5,681m Gilman’s Point, before the last stretch and an early morning to climb through the dark and enjoy sunrise from the Uhuru Point summit at 5,896m. From there look out over the Kibo crater, ash pits and glaciers and enjoy being on top of Africa’s highest peak – the ‘Roof of Africa’ – before taking the last day to descend.

Day 8 – 9

ARUSHA, Tanzania

Enjoy a well-deserved shower after your seven day climb up Mount Kilimanjaro
Relax your tired muscles in the pool or sunbathe on a deckchair at Rivertrees Country Inn

Unwind and relax for the night with a stop in Arusha for a good night’s rest before heading out for your safari.

Now is the time for a bit of relaxation before you set out to the heart of the Serengeti National Park the following day. Unwind in the Rivertree Country Inn’s estate, filled with indigenous wildlife and birdlife, rejuvenate with a tranquil massage or enjoy a freshly prepared pizza from the inn’s wood burning oven, over a crackling fire under the starry night sky.

SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK, Tanzania

Fly to the heart of the Serengeti National Park for a four day nomadic adventure

Finish your Tanzania adventure with a safari in one of Africa’s most iconic settings – the Serengeti. Head to one of Africa’s best mobile camps to stay four nights in the luxurious Serengeti Safari Camp, deep in the African wilderness. Spend your days on game drives, following herds of elephants and spotting prides of lions, or follow the Serengeti’s famous wildebeest migration in any season as the camp relocates, moving hundreds of miles across the landscape to ensure it’s always in the best position to witness the herds. Settle in for the night with a sundowner watching lilac-breasted rollers in the wilderness, before a night under the stars surrounded by nothing but the African bush.
