Why Choose 7 Days Kilimanjaro Marangu Route And Ngorongoro Safari?
Combining trekking and wildlife viewing makes practical use of a Tanzania holiday. You can spend six days climbing through changing mountain environments before visiting a volcanic crater known for its wildlife.
The additional acclimatization day at Horombo Hut gives your body more time to adjust to altitude. Although this may support your preparation for the summit, reaching Uhuru Peak is never guaranteed.
The safari adds a different perspective, with opportunities to observe animals from a four-wheel-drive vehicle rather than on foot. Request a quote to compare private and shared travel arrangements.Destinations in the 7 Days Kilimanjaro Marangu Route And Ngorongoro Safari
