Safari summary

11 Days Kilimanjaro Climb Lemosho Route And Wildlife Safari in Tanzania combines a seven-day trek through the scenic Lemosho Route with a four-day wildlife journey across Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It brings together mountain landscapes, high-altitude trekking, game drives and diverse Tanzanian scenery in one carefully arranged adventure.

This itinerary is designed for travelers who want to divide their Tanzania holiday between the challenge of Mount Kilimanjaro and time in some of the country's well-known wildlife destinations. The Lemosho section provides a gradual mountain journey, while the safari portion adds opportunities for wildlife viewing after the climb.

11-Day Tanzania Mountain And Safari Package

The trip is arranged in two main sections. The first seven days focus on climbing Kilimanjaro through the Lemosho Route, followed by four days of safari covering Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.

The mountain portion includes overnight stays on the route, meals, mountain crew support and transfers between Moshi and the trail. After descending from Kilimanjaro, the safari section continues from Arusha toward northern Tanzania's wildlife areas.

This combination works well for travelers who want more than a Kilimanjaro trek and prefer to add a wildlife component to their Tanzania holiday.

Why Choose This 11 Days Kilimanjaro Lemosho And Safari Trip?

Combining trekking and safari allows you to experience two major sides of Tanzania within one travel plan. The seven-day Lemosho Route gives you time to move through changing mountain environments before reaching the summit, while the following safari provides a completely different setting of plains, wildlife and crater landscapes.

Lemosho is also suitable for travelers looking for a longer Kilimanjaro itinerary rather than a very short ascent. The journey includes rainforest, moorland, semi-desert and alpine environments before the final summit section.
Destinations Covered

This combined itinerary takes you through five major destinations and travel environments:

Mount Kilimanjaro: The central mountain experience, including the seven-day Lemosho Route and Uhuru Peak.

Lemosho Route: A multi-day trekking route crossing rainforest, moorland, semi-desert and alpine environments.

Tarangire National Park: The first wildlife destination after the mountain section.

Serengeti National Park: A major safari destination offering extensive landscapes and opportunities for game viewing.

Ngorongoro Crater: The final major wildlife area before returning to Arusha.

Accommodation During the Journey

Hotel accommodation is included around the mountain and safari portions as specified in the itinerary. Travelers should confirm their preferred accommodation category and any additional hotel nights before finalizing the trip.

Itinerary

Moshi- Lemosho Gate - Big Tree Camp

Kilimanjaro

After breakfast, travel from Moshi toward the Lemosho Gate area. Following registration and trail preparations, begin hiking through the rainforest toward Big Tree Camp. The walk covers approximately 6 km and takes around 3–4 hours, with breakfast and lunch provided.

Big Tree Camp

Big Tree Camp to Shira 2 Camp

Kilimanjaro

Continue through changing vegetation as the route leaves the rainforest behind. The hike from Big Tree Camp to Shira 2 covers about 18 km and generally takes 8–10 hours. The landscape changes toward moorland, making this a longer and important day of the climb.

Shira 2 Camp

Shira Camp to Barranco Camp

Kilimanjaro

The trail continues from Shira 2 toward Barranco Camp, covering approximately 10 km in 6–8 hours. The environment becomes more rugged and dry, with semi-desert scenery. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided at the mountain camp.

Barranco Camp

Barranco to Karanga Camp

Kilimanjaro

Leave Barranco and continue toward Karanga Camp. The distance is approximately 5.2 km, with elevations rising from about 3,986m to 4,034m. The hike takes around 4–5 hours through alpine desert terrain, with a short rest and lunch before continuing toward the camp.

Karanga Camp

Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp

Kilimanjaro

Continue upward from Karanga toward Barafu Camp, reaching approximately 4,662m. The distance is around 3.3 km and takes approximately 4–5 hours. This alpine desert section prepares you for the demanding summit day, followed by rest at the high camp.

Barafu Camp

Barafu to Uhuru Peak and Mweka

Kilimanjaro

The summit attempt begins from Barafu during the early hours. Continue toward Uhuru Peak at 5,895m before descending toward Mweka Camp. The ascent covers about 5 km and takes approximately 7–8 hours, followed by around 12 km of descent requiring 4–6 hours.

Mweka Camp

Mweka to Mweka Gate- Moshi - Arusha

Kilimanjaro

Descend through the rainforest from Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate, covering about 10 km in 3–4 hours. After completing the mountain section, continue to Moshi before transferring onward to Arusha for the night. Breakfast and lunch are included.

Arusha

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Tarangire

Depart Arusha for Tarangire National Park, with pickup generally scheduled around 7:00–8:00am, with the exact departure time confirmed for your trip. The drive is approximately 109 km and takes around two hours. Enjoy a wildlife drive before continuing toward Mto wa Mbu or Karatu for the evening.

Mto wa Mbu/Karatu

Mto wa Mbu/Karatu to Serengeti

Serengeti

Continue toward Serengeti National Park and spend the day viewing the surrounding wildlife and landscapes before staying in Central Serengeti. The supplied itinerary notes a 9:00–9:30am pickup from Arusha; because the day's heading begins from Mto wa Mbu/Karatu, the exact starting arrangement should be confirmed when booking.

Central Serengeti

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Rim

Serengeti

Spend more time on a Serengeti game drive before continuing toward the Ngorongoro area. The itinerary includes a late drive toward the Serengeti Gate for checkout. Check-in and checkout timing depends on the applicable park and conservation-area regulations and the timing of your entry.

Ngorongoro Rim

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a wildlife drive. Later, leave the conservation area and continue toward Arusha. The supplied itinerary indicates an estimated arrival in Arusha around 5:30–6:30pm, followed by an overnight stay.
