AVT 2.4 KILI CLIMB (MACHAME ROUTE) AND SAFARI – 14 DAYS

This trip itinerary allows you to experience two of the most outstanding experiences Tanzania has to offer — climbing to the summit of Africa’s highest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro, and a photo safari to several of our outstanding national parks, which includes several days of “game drives” to observe and photograph our magnificent wildlife.

For our Mt. Kili climb we are taking the Machame Route, or as it is often called, the “Whiskey Route.” This is a scenically beautiful trail, longer and much gentler than Umbwe or Rongai. Our itinerary provides valuable acclimatization by having extra, but shorter walking days during the trek to the 19,340 foot summit and return. Then we visit the spectacular and understandably popular destinations of the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara National Parks. During the safari portion of your trip, you have the option of including one or two cultural discoveries, where you can find out about the way of life of the people living there. Many tourists pass through these areas leaving only a cloud of dust, but with the unique Africa VIP Travel connections we get to see, firsthand, some of the local culture by visiting tribal villages. There is a modest additional charge for each visit, which goes directly to the villages. Our goal is to broaden your experience of this part of Africa, and ensure more of the benefits of tourism reach the locals directly.
