Begin with a 5-day Kilimanjaro trek on the Marangu Route, walking through diverse vegetation zones and staying in mountain huts with incredible views. This short trek gives you the essence of the mountainโ€™s grandeur without the full summit push, allowing you to experience rainforest, moorland, and alpine desert zones. Afterward, spend 3 days on safari in Tanzaniaโ€™s northern parks. Tarangire will welcome you with its elephant herds and baobab studded landscapes, Ngorongoro Crater will provide a dramatic wildlife viewing in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Lake Manyara offers birdlife and scenic contrasts. Following the adventure of mountains and safari, fly to Zanzibar for 4 days of relaxation and culture. Spend time on pristine white sand beaches, explore historic Stone Town with its winding alleys and spice markets, and enjoy sunset dhow cruises along the Indian Ocean. This balanced itinerary offers the perfect blend of trekking, wildlife adventure, and tropical island relaxation.
