Why Choose 8 Days Kilimanjaro Machame And Tarangire Ngorongoro Safari?
The strength of this itinerary is the combination of mountain and wildlife experiences. Six days are dedicated to the Machame Route, giving you time to progress through different mountain environments toward Uhuru Peak. After descending, the final two days shift the focus to wildlife and scenic landscapes.
Tarangire provides the first safari setting, while Ngorongoro Crater offers a second and very different environment for game viewing. The combination is useful for travelers who want both Kilimanjaro trekking and northern Tanzania safari experiences in one itinerary.
The 8-Day Kilimanjaro Machame and Safari combines a six-day trek to Uhuru Peak at 5,895m with a two-day wildlife safari through Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. It is designed for active travelers who want to combine mountain hiking with wildlife viewing.
Destinations: 8 Days Kilimanjaro Machame And Tarangire Ngorongoro Safari
Mount Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is the central destination during the first part of the journey. The six-day trek follows the Machame Route and progresses toward Uhuru Peak at 5,895m before descending through the mountain's lower forest zone.
Machame Route
The Machame Route provides the trekking framework for this package. Its six-day schedule moves through rainforest, moorland, semi-desert, alpine desert and the higher summit environment before descending toward Mweka and Machame Gate.
Tarangire National Park

Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater is the second safari destination. The crater game drive completes the wildlife section before the journey continues to Arusha, making it a practical final safari destination within this itinerary.
