Overview
This sixteen-day trip combines Tanzania's three big attractions: a full climb of Kilimanjaro on the Machame route, a safari through the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, and a few beach days on Zanzibar to finish.
You climb first, with seven days on Machame, often called the mountain's most scenic route, then a rest day in Moshi to recover. Next come five days of game drives in the northern parks, then a short flight to Zanzibar for three days of real rest.
It is all of Tanzania in one booking: a summit to be proud of, Big Five wildlife and a beach to recover on. Our Kilimanjaro and safari guide explains why this order works so well.
