A Kilimanjaro and safari package offers the ultimate Tanzania adventure by combining two of Africa’s most extraordinary experiences — climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, and exploring the country’s world-famous wildlife safaris.
Safaribando organizes carefully designed Kilimanjaro and safari packages that allow travelers to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and then continue their journey into Tanzania’s spectacular national parks. After completing the climb, many travelers celebrate their achievement by experiencing the wildlife of Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara.
This combination creates a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Trekkers experience the challenge of climbing Africa’s tallest mountain before enjoying unforgettable wildlife encounters across the African savannah.
Browse our Kilimanjaro and safari packages below and start planning your once-in-a-lifetime Tanzania adventure.
Climb Mount Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro rises to 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level and is the tallest mountain on the African continent. Located in northern Tanzania, the mountain attracts thousands of climbers every year who dream of standing on Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa.
Climbing Kilimanjaro is considered a non-technical trek, meaning climbers do not need mountaineering experience. However, reaching the summit requires determination, physical preparation, and proper acclimatization.
Several routes lead to the summit, each offering unique scenery and different trekking experiences. Popular routes include Machame Route, Lemosho Route, Marangu Route, and Rongai Route.
During the climb, trekkers pass through multiple ecological zones including rainforest, moorland, alpine desert, and the glacier-covered summit area.
Experience Tanzania’s Incredible Wildlife Safaris
After completing a Kilimanjaro climb, many travelers continue their journey with a wildlife safari across northern Tanzania.
The region is home to some of the most famous safari destinations in Africa and offers incredible opportunities to see wildlife in natural habitats.
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park is one of the most iconic safari destinations in the world. The park’s vast plains support large populations of wildlife including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, and wildebeest.
The Serengeti is also known for the Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest and zebras move across the plains each year in search of fresh grazing land.
Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa’s most spectacular natural wonders. This massive volcanic caldera forms a natural wildlife sanctuary that supports a high concentration of animals.
Visitors exploring the crater often see lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, hippos, and the rare black rhinoceros.
The dramatic scenery and rich wildlife make Ngorongoro one of the highlights of any Tanzania safari.
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park is famous for its large elephant herds and giant baobab trees. During the dry season, animals gather around the Tarangire River, creating fantastic wildlife viewing opportunities.
Visitors may also see giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, lions, and many species of birds.
Tarangire’s landscapes and wildlife diversity make it an excellent addition to Kilimanjaro and safari itineraries.
Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park is known for its beautiful scenery and diverse ecosystems. The park includes forests, grasslands, and a large alkaline lake that attracts thousands of flamingos.
The park is also famous for its tree-climbing lions, which are occasionally seen resting on branches of large acacia trees.
Lake Manyara is often included as a short but scenic stop during safari tours.
