Safari summary

Lemosho route is one of our preferred routes due to its low traffic, beautiful scenery and a high summit success rate and this route starts off from the west, beginning with a long drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate. From there, the first two days are spent trekking through the lush rainforest to Shira Plateau.
Lemosho route joins the Machame route at Shira 2 Camp and then follows the same route through the southern circuit and descending at Mweka Gate

And your safari adventure will take you to 3 of the most beautiful areas that Tanzania has to offer in terms of its rich and varied wildlife.
The Serengeti National Park is justifiably famous for its huge concentrations of wildlife, especially the big cats, as well as being the stomping ground of the Great Migration, a massive accumulation of 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras and 350,000 gazelles stretching their legs over 1,200 miles in an annual race to find enough water and green grass for their survival.
Ngorongoro Conservation Crater is the world's largest intact crater and is brimming with animals such as rhinos, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, lions and hyenas.
Finally, Tarangire is a beautiful park that is considered to be one of the least-visited parks in the country, making it even more special. The park is full of baobab and acacia trees and it also hosts a large variety of games such as zebras, elephants, giraffes and waterbuck.

Also on this tour, you have less drive from one destination to another, which means that you get more time to spend in the park.
