THE SUMMIT & SAVANNA
Two Tanzania adventures in one trip.
This twelve-day sample combines a guided Kilimanjaro climb with a short northern safari. The climb route is not fixed: trekking days, recovery time and park order need to be matched before the trip is confirmed.
Summit success is never guaranteed. Altitude, health, weather and guide safety decisions influence the climb; allow enough time and follow your crew’s advice.
FOLLOW THE ROUTE
From the mountain to the savanna.
Mountain routes and safari areas are schematic. The exact climb, transfers and parks must be confirmed with the final itinerary.
