Day 6
Kilimanjaro Hike
It’s impossible to climb this famous, highest Mount Kilimanjaro in a day, but your day trip to this majestic, iconic snow-capped mountain will give you a shot to scramble up the first leg of the well-known Marangu route. On your way through the thick rainforest, you will come across twittering and chattering bird life, Colobus. Note: Kilimanjaro day hike starts at 6:30 am – 7:00 pm. Your day trip begins with a hotel pickup in Arusha, then jump in for a relaxing drive to Marangu Gate for registration with the authorities before you begin your long-awaited hike. This route approaches the mountain from the southeast part. You will only trek through the lower altitude, taking your picnic lunch en route to Mandara Hut. Once you are at Mandara Hut, you will rest for approximately 30 to 45 minutes before you begin your slow descent back to the Main Gate. Your driver will be waiting for you to drive you back to the airport with relaxing music to take away the fatigue. Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Non-alcoholic drinks

We did the Manyara Gane Drive and it was perfect from beginning to end. The guide was a great tracker leading us to a range of animals and gave us all the background information. Skdo parked in good spots to get pictures. 10 out of 10.

Beyond expectations
From day 1, Antonia was super helpful helping us plan this trip. She answered my million questions and explained everything very detailed to make sure my trip was just as I wanted and kept communication going the whole time. Since we arrived in Tanzania the service we received from Serengeti African tours was 5 stars. Our accommodation was super comfortable, we had great food every day and all the staff always super friendly. Our tour guide Gift was the best, he knew all about the animals and was always finding the spots to get us the best views. Super helpful at all times and always encouraging us to ask the right questions and making us remember the animals we saw. Overall everything was beyond expectations and we would do it again a million times. Asante sana.

Amazing
As nature lovers, this safari has been a turning point in our lives. A unique and unforgettable experience where the animals come to see you, not the other way around—this is when you truly realize what real freedom is. It’s true that luck plays a role, but having such an experienced guide like Mathew allowed us to enjoy the trip to the fullest and have truly incredible encounters. My favorite moment was when a pregnant leopard calmly decided to visit us right next to the 4x4. Situations like that only happen when the driver knows how to handle the vehicle and always maintains respect for wildlife. He also explained every detail about the parks and was very open with us—we had a great time! A 100% recommended experience.

Perfectly organized tour. The office staff was always available. Our guide, Rashid, was wonderful, extremely knowledgeable, and always smiling. We saw every type of animal imaginable. An unforgettable experience.
