Package Breakdown: 12 Days Lemosho Trekking And Tanzania Wildlife Safari
This 12-day package combines an 8-day Lemosho Route climb with a 4-day Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro safari. After attempting Uhuru Peak, you continue to northern Tanzania's wildlife destinations for elephant sightings, savannah game drives, and a crater safari.

Why Choose 12 Days Lemosho Trekking And Tanzania Wildlife Safari?
The eight-day Lemosho itinerary provides time for gradual acclimatization and introduces trekkers to several of Kilimanjaro's distinct ecological zones. Its western approach and scenic Shira Plateau make it an attractive choice for travelers seeking a longer mountain experience.
The safari adds a different perspective on Tanzania. Tarangire is known for elephants and baobab landscapes, Serengeti offers extensive wildlife-viewing opportunities, and Ngorongoro Crater provides a remarkable setting for observing diverse animals. Together, these destinations create a varied adventure after the physical challenge of the mountain.

Destinations in 12 Days Lemosho Trekking And Tanzania Wildlife Safari

Mount Kilimanjaro and the Lemosho Route

Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest mountain, reaching 5,895 m at Uhuru Peak. Lemosho approaches from the west and traverses changing habitats, from rainforest to alpine terrain. The eight-day schedule allows more time for acclimatization than shorter itineraries, but altitude sickness remains a risk.

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire is a strong opening safari destination, particularly for elephant sightings and distinctive baobab landscapes. Seasonal water availability influences where animals gather.

Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti's expansive plains support large herbivore populations and predators, including lions and cheetahs. Wildlife sightings vary with season, location, and movement patterns.

Ngorongoro Crater

The crater offers a concentrated wildlife-viewing environment within a dramatic volcanic landscape. A guided descent provides opportunities to look for a range of resident species.

Package Price and Booking Information

The estimated price is USD 3,300–5,700 per person. Your final quotation depends on accommodation category, group size, private or shared transport, guide arrangements, included services, and travel dates. Solo travelers should request an individual quotation.
