How to choose your trip to Tanzania
One of Africa's top destinations, Tanzania offers a wealth of options for adventure travellers. The most popular safari tours focus on the famous attractions in the north of the country (including the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater) while southern Tanzania offers vast, unspoilt reserves far from the tourist crowds. The country's other main attraction lies in conquering Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, with various routes available below. Many trips to Tanzania will finish in the paradise island of Zanzibar. Tanzania is also one of the key stops on overland journeys through Africa - either combining the safaris of the east of the continent or along the epic Great African Journey.

Kilimanjaro Rongai Route Trek 8 days
from £2195 excl. flights* Climb Kilimanjaro via the remote and relatively quiet Rongai Route. Situated on the north side of Africa's highest mountain our trek starts close to the Tanzania / Kenya border. The Rongai Route is the longest and most scenic trekking route on Kilimanjaro, providing a gradual climb through forest, farmland and open moor, with expansive views northwards to Amboseli. As an aid to acclimatisation, our easy-paced itinerary includes a rest day at the idyllic Mawenzi Tarn Camp, beneath dramatic rock spires. An early start on the last day of our climb should enable us to reach the high point at Uhuru Peak (5894m) in time to see the summit snows illuminated by the golden light of sunrise. Kilimanjaro's prominence (it is one of the world's tallest freestanding mountains) and its lack of technical difficulty, make it an obvious challenge for regular hikers. This exceptional trekking adventure holiday offers the chance to climb kilimanjaro by way of its finest routes - the Rongai Route. |
