Kilimanjaro Lemosho Trek & Safari – 13 Days
Climb Kilimanjaro, then relax on safari in Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
13 days
From £3,400
Tour overview
This 13-day trip combines a Kilimanjaro climb with a short safari in northern Tanzania. A trek leader and mountain crew lead the climb, then a safari driver-guide takes over, for a group of four to sixteen. You spend seven nights camping on the mountain and five in lodges, with almost every meal included.
The Lemosho Route starts in rainforest and crosses the Shira Plateau, passing the Lava Tower and the Barranco Wall to Barafu Camp. A midnight start brings you to Uhuru Peak, the roof of Africa at 5,895 metres, before the descent to Mweka Gate and Moshi.

With the climb done, you drive to Lake Manyara for a first game drive, spend a full day in the Ngorongoro Crater looking for lions, elephants and rhino, and finish in Tarangire, known for its herds of elephants and baobab trees.
The physical rating is high. This trip suits fit walkers who want to climb Kilimanjaro and see the wildlife afterwards.
