10 Day Kilimanjaro climb and Tanzania safari

Tour Type

Combo Adventure

Tour Overview

10 Day Kilimanjaro climb and Tanzania safari is the ultimate combination of Mount Kilimanjaro climbing, cultural experiences, and classic wildlife safari in Northern Tanzania. This carefully designed itinerary allows you to conquer the highest mountain in Africa and explore two of Tanzania’s most famous national parks in one unforgettable journey.

Your adventure begins in Moshi with a cultural visit to Materuni Waterfalls before starting your 5-day Mount Kilimanjaro climb via the popular Marangu Route. Known as the “Coca-Cola Route,” this trail offers comfortable hut accommodation and a gradual ascent to Uhuru Peak (5,895 meters), the highest point in Africa. Reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is a life-changing achievement and one of the greatest trekking experiences in the world.

After descending the mountain, your Tanzania adventure continues with a wildlife safari to Tarangire National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and ancient baobab trees, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the Big Five.

This Kilimanjaro and safari combination is perfect for adventure travelers, honeymooners, and first-time visitors to Tanzania who want to experience both mountain trekking and African wildlife in one well-planned itinerary.

    After an early breakfast at your hotel in Moshi, your driver and mountain guide will pick you up and transfer you to Marangu Gate, the main entrance of Mount Kilimanjaro. The drive takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, passing through local villages and lush countryside at the base of the mountain. Upon arrival at Marangu Gate (1,870 meters), you will complete park registration formalities while your trekking team prepares the equipment. After a final briefing and introductions to your guides and porters, your Kilimanjaro climbing adventure officially begins. The hike starts through a beautiful tropical rainforest filled with tall trees, moss-covered trunks, and unique wildlife. You may spot blue monkeys, colobus monkeys, and a variety of bird species along the trail. The path is well-defined and gradually ascends, making this first trekking day comfortable and enjoyable. The trek to Mandara Hut (2,700 meters) takes approximately 4 to 5 hours depending on your walking pace. Upon arrival, you will have time to rest, enjoy a hot meal prepared by your mountain crew, and relax while taking in the fresh mountain air. If time and energy allow, you can take a short optional walk to Maundi Crater for a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape.

  • Day 4: Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut

The trek takes approximately 6–7 hours to reach Horombo Hut (3,720m). You will start to feel the altitude, so it is important to walk slowly and drink plenty of water.

    Overnight at Horombo Hut.

  • Day 5: Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut

    Today’s trek leads you across the alpine desert zone toward Kibo Hut (4,700m). The environment becomes rocky and dry, with stunning views of the saddle between Mawenzi and Kibo.

  • Day 6: Kibo Hut – Uhuru Peak – Horombo Hut

    Around midnight, you begin your summit attempt to Uhuru Peak (5,895m), the highest point in Africa. This is the most challenging but most rewarding day. After 6–8 hours of slow climbing, you will reach the summit at sunrise. Standing at Uhuru Peak is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement and a proud moment for every climber. After celebrating and taking photos, you descend back to Kibo Hut for a short rest and then continue down to Horombo Hut for overnight stay. This is a long and demanding day (10–14 hours total hiking).

  • Day 7: Kibo Hut – Uhuru Peak – Horombo Hut

    After an early breakfast at Horombo Hut (3,720m), you will begin your final descent from Mount Kilimanjaro. The trail takes you down through the moorland zone and back into the lush rainforest. As you descend, the air becomes warmer and richer in oxygen, making the walk more comfortable compared to the summit days. The hike from Horombo Hut to Marangu Gate takes approximately 5 to 7 hours. Along the way, you will pass Mandara Hut again and continue through the beautiful forest scenery. This is a great time to reflect on your incredible achievement of reaching Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa. Upon arrival at Marangu Gate (1,870m), you will complete park exit formalities and receive your official Kilimanjaro summit certificate. This is a proud and emotional moment celebrating your successful climb of Mount Kilimanjaro. Your driver will then transfer you back to your hotel in Moshi or Arusha.
