Why Choose This 9 Days Machame Trek And Serengeti Ngorongoro Adventure?

The strength of this itinerary is the contrast between mountain trekking and safari. The Machame Route provides several days of hiking through changing climatic zones, while Serengeti and Ngorongoro introduce a vehicle-based wildlife experience.

The six-day mountain section is suitable for travelers specifically looking for the Machame Route. After descending from Kilimanjaro, the safari provides time to rest while visiting two major northern Tanzania wildlife destinations.

This 9-day Tanzanian epic seamlessly combines a 6-day Mount Kilimanjaro trek via the Machame Route with a 3-day wildlife safari through the iconic Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. The package is designed for travelers who want mountain and wildlife activities within one organized journey
