Why Choose 11 Days Kilimanjaro Machame Trek And Northern Circuit Safari?

The main advantage of this combination is variety. The seven-day Machame Route provides the trekking component, while the following safari days introduce three different wildlife destinations.

Machame takes you through several ecological zones as the trail rises toward Uhuru Peak. After the mountain section, the safari changes the pace from hiking to vehicle-based game viewing.

Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro each form a distinct part of the northern safari experience. This makes the itinerary suitable for travelers who want a mountain challenge followed by wildlife-focused days.

An 11-day Kilimanjaro climb and safari combo includes a 7-day Machame Route summit at 5,895m followed by a 4-day safari covering Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
