Tanzania Uganda Safari – 16 Days
08 Days Private Machame Route (7 Days on the mountain 02 nights in Arusha)
Approaching legendary Kilimanjaro from the south-west, we take the popular Machame Route, with a total trip time of eight days, thus giving us even more acclimatization time and an even better chance of reaching the summit. Lush rain forest and Alpine moorland characterize the Machame Route, a trek which is challenging, make no mistake, despite the extra time given to acclimatize. You will have a vehicle to take you to and from the mountain. Accommodation on the mountain on this ‘Basic’ category trip will be in tented camps – a true adventure.
Package Cost Based on 2023 (Please note: 2024 prices will be advised in July 2023)
The Total Price based on 02 Pax will cost US$ 9,050 USD Per Person (Kilimanjaro Hiking & Northern Tanzania Safari & Uganda Gorilla Trekking). BOOK NOW
Note: April is a rainy season and hiking in this month the trails are slippery and if you are not fine with the heavy down pour you can do this like early March but if you have no problem with rain, we are ready to serve you.

08 Day Northern Circuit Tanzania & Uganda Gorilla Safari
On safari, every day is full of welcome surprises. Every day we make a plan for our safari, safe in the knowledge that Tanzania’s wildlife will interrupt it. Our animals don’t work to a precise schedule, but our expert driver-guides know their routines better than anyone: where and when they like to drink, to eat and where the predators like to hunt. Prepare yourself for extraordinary experiences. From stunning birdlife to herds of elephant, from prowling lions to wallowing hippo, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro never disappoint our visitors. Enjoy breath-taking, awe-inspiring moments. One minute, you’ll marvel at the grace of a grazing giraffe, then be entranced by the herds of migrating wildebeest. In Ngorongoro, keep a lookout for a rare black rhino.

What to wear/bring
Dress codes are informal. Daytime temperatures are generally warm, so bring lots of light clothing, supplemented by light sweaters for the cool evenings and heavier clothing for the higher altitudes especially Bwindi. When tracking gorillas layering your clothing is the best idea and we suggest: long sleeved shirts, cotton or gore tex trousers, strong walking shoes with ankle support, socks that you can tuck your trousers into, light gloves to protect your hands from thorns and nettles, a hat and sunglasses to provide protection against the sun and a waterproof jacket in neutral colors may come in handy in the moist mountains. Travel light and remember that soft-sided luggage is required. One medium sized duffel bag and one small day pack (carry-on) per person should be adequate. Laundry services are available at most accommodations. You should also pack some zip lock bags for spare clothing, cameras, binoculars and film. Please note that you are not allowed to use a flash when photographing gorillas. It is a good idea to take along several different speeds of film (64 to 1000) as gorillas can be found in open sun or in the dark underbrush of the forest.
