Mid-Range Safari

9 Day’ Mt Kilimanjaro, Safari and Gorilla in Uganda

Days / Nights

Tour Overview

Marangu Route has been referred to as the 'Coca-Cola’ route, leading potential climbers to think it is an easy route to the summit. This is far from the truth, to be honest! The fact that it requires a minimum of 5 days to complete does not mean it is easier than any other route. The trail goes through the lush rain forest, moorland to the alpine desert, and ultimately the arctic zone at the peak and the same route down. This safari is a great chance for you who is up for a Kilimanjaro adventure!Best of Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater (4days)

Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut.
Day 2

Marangu Gate to Mandara Hut.

Take a short drive from Moshi town to the Kilimanjaro Park Gate (1,830 m.) lies at the edge of Marangu, which is an attractive village with many small coffee and banana plantations. After completing the entrance formalities, we climb up through an attractive and unspoiled forest to reach the clearing containing Mandara Hut (2,700 m.). The volcanic remains of Maundi Crater are nearby and make a good afternoon excursion. An alternative is to rest and enjoy the beautiful forest. There is a rich birdlife at the huts and monkeys are often seen as well. [3-5 hours walking to Mandara Hut]

Day 3

Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut

The first part of the walk is a steep ascent through forest, but the path soon opens out into grassy moorland and, in clear weather, there are good views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks. We climb steadily through the moorland zone, containing giant heather and occasional stands of groundsel, to eventually reach Horombo Hut (3,720 m.). Sunrises and sunsets here are often very stunning, the site is close to the glaciated dome of Kibo, and there is a real sense of being above the clouds.

Day 4

Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut

We climb very gradually towards the lunar desert of the Saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo. The terrain changes to screed and there is a palpable sense of high-altitude wilderness. We usually reach Kibo Hut (4,700 m.) at the bottom of the crater wall by midday and the afternoon is free (to contemplate the summit ascent!!). The remainder of the day is spent resting and eating in preparation for the final climb before a very early night! [4-5 hours walking from Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut]

Day 5

Summit Day then down to Horombo Hut

We will start our ascent by torchlight at about 1 a.m. so that we can be up at Gillman’s Point by sunrise. The initial climb is steep over the loose volcanic screen, but there are some well-graded zigzags and a slow but steady pace will have us up to Gillman’s (5,685 m.) in about five or six hours. We will rest there and spend some time taking in the sunrise. Those who are still feeling strong can make the three-hour round trip from here along the crater rim to Uhuru Peak (5,896 m.) passing close to the spectacular glaciers that still occupy most of the summit area. The descent is surprisingly fast and we return to Horombo Hut for the night. [11-15 hours walking from Kibo Hut to Gillman’s Point]

Horombo Hut – Moshi

After breakfast, you will start with a pleasant moorland walk to Mandara and then a lovely forest walks to the Marangu National Park gates to Moshi town. The greenness and lushness of the forest are quite a stunning contrast to the summit day, and it really makes you realize how varied the scenery on Kilimanjaro really is. [5-6 hours walking], you will have the opportunity to purchase sodas and souvenirs that will remind you of your 5 days Marangu route for years to come. A driver will transfer you to the hotel for dinner and overnight.

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

We will depart from Moshi in the morning and travel to the Tarangire National Park where you can marvel at the colossal termite mounds and the ancient baobab trees. The picturesque scenery and diverse bird life assist in creating the tranquil ambiance of the Tarangire. The great elephant population is an extremely remarkable sight.  
You’ll have a great view from the open roof of your sturdy 4x4, so get your camera ready for giraffes, warthog, impala, cheetahs (the most wanted), mongoose, buffalo, and baboons. Look up at tree-level to spot one of the famous climbing leopards of Tarangire, and look closer is that a python? 
African elephants are the largest land mammal and adult males can weigh as much as seven tons. When your game drive comes to an end, we will take you to the Omega view hotel & resort for dinner and overnight.

Day 8

Ngorongoro crater

We will depart for the Ngorongoro Crater early in the morning as it is a wonderful time to spot games. We will go on a game drive with a picnic lunch inside the crater. The majority of the animals tend to reside within the crater due to its elevated structure. There is a high possibility of spotting every member of ‘The Big 5’. The Crater formed millions of years ago when a large volcano erupted. You can expect to encounter zebra, hippo, wildebeest, and cackling hyenas. There are graceful flamingos along Soda Lake and vultures are constantly circling the sky in search of discarded carcasses. Storks and geese are popular water birds in the crater. In the late afternoon, the driver will drive you to Serengeti where you will take dinner and overnight at Osinon campsite and lodge.

Day 13

gorilla trekking day- Bwindi impenetrable national park.

In the morning after breakfast at the Hotel, travel to the park headquarters to meet your guide for the day and begin your gorilla tracking experiences. Experienced guides and trackers will accompany you in the morning, trek into the dense rain forest on the mountain slopes. The journey, through the dense foliage and up steep climbs, is abundantly rewarded with the lifetime experience of viewing mountains in their natural habitats. You will have an opportunity to be within 7-10M of these magnificent apes sharing in their daily lives and experiencing their day-to-day activities. Mountain gorillas are extremely rare with only an estimated 880 remaining in the wild. This is an experience of a lifetime. Following the trek, return to the lodge and, if time allows, take A community walks to see the Bush men. Be advised: tracking May be fairly strenuous with treks up to 5 hours or longer. High altitudes are not uncommon Mountain gorillas are wild animals because they have trekkers who keep following them from time to time, I guarantee you to see them falling after tracking your professional guide. The driver will transfer you to the hotel at Lake Bunyonyi Island, dinner and overnight at your accomodation.
