8-Day Lemosho Route Climb + 4-Day Tanzania Wildlife Safari

Tour Overview

Experience the ultimate Tanzania adventure with this unforgettable combination of Mount Kilimanjaro trekking and wildlife safari. This carefully designed 10-day itinerary combines the scenic 7-day Lemosho Route climb with an exciting 3-day Tanzania Northern Circuit safari, offering the perfect balance of adventure, nature, and wildlife.

The Lemosho Route is widely considered one of the best routes on Mount Kilimanjaro due to its beautiful scenery, lower crowds, and excellent acclimatization profile. Beginning on the remote western side of the mountain, the trail passes through lush rainforest, open moorlands, alpine desert, and dramatic volcanic landscapes before reaching Uhuru Peak at 5,895 meters — the highest point in Africa.

During the trek, climbers enjoy breathtaking views, professional mountain support, and a gradual ascent that increases summit success rates. The route also includes famous highlights such as the Shira Plateau, Lava Tower, Barranco Wall, and stunning sunrise views from the summit.

After successfully conquering Kilimanjaro, the adventure continues with a 3-day wildlife safari through some of Tanzania’s most iconic national parks. Explore Tarangire National Park, famous for its giant elephant herds and ancient baobab trees, descend into the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater to witness the Big Five in one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife destinations, and discover the beauty of Lake Manyara National Park, known for its tree-climbing lions, flamingos, and diverse birdlife.

This Kilimanjaro climbing and safari package is ideal for travelers looking to experience both Africa’s highest mountain and Tanzania’s spectacular wildlife in one seamless journey. With experienced guides, quality accommodations, and carefully planned logistics, this package delivers an authentic and unforgettable East African adventure.
