Experience Tanzania beyond the classic safari with a journey that combines Kilimanjaro, local culture, hiking and wildlife in one seamless adventure. Rather than spending your entire trip in the safari vehicle, you’ll begin in the foothills of Kilimanjaro with a Materuni waterfall and coffee experience before taking on the Shira Plateau.
A major highlight is the chance to experience Kilimanjaro without committing to a multi-day summit climb. After your Shira Plateau hike, you’ll continue to the Serengeti, where you’ll have time for full-day and half-day game drives across the plains.
With an experienced Tanzanian guide, you can follow wildlife movements and enjoy a more personal safari experience. You’ll then continue to the Ngorongoro Crater for an early morning game drive, giving you the chance to see some of Tanzania’s most remarkable wildlife before returning to Arusha or the airport.
