Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Moshi - Ngorongoro Crater

Pick you from your hotel or home in Moshi/Arusha at 6:00 am after breakfast and drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Authority Area. Descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a full-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Conservation supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its huge population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard. You will enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor at Ngoitokitoki swamp. Evening drive back to Arusha/Moshi and drop off at the hotel or home where the tour ends.

A great Kilimanjaro experience I have recently climbed Kilimanjaro with Brighton and his crew and I had an outstanding experience. The meals were always amazing, lots of food as well. One of our guys struggled a little with altitude sickness, but everyone made sure that he will make it up the top, but all in a safe manner. Brighton is a very knowledgeable guy in the area and has been running Kilimanjaro tours for a very long time and you can see and feel his experience in any possible way. I can’t recommend him and his crew enough!

First time - not the last time This was my first trekking trip, and it was amazing.The whole Crew was always very Kind and polite, every one helped us going up to the top. The food was really good we had plenty to eat even on top of the mountain! The mood was always good, we had a lot of fun and felt safe all the time. We did some safety stops for getting used to the height. The tents were always made by the crewMy guide was a super funny guy from moshi who kept the motivation high and pushed us to go further. It was a great experience and I would recommend any time

Hiking Kilimanjaro I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to climb up Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route. Although the trek was challenging- especially getting to the summit, it was lots of fun and I had the chance to experience some spectacular scenery and nature along the way. The support of all the team was first class and I would recommend this for anyone considering taking up the Kilimanjaro challenge!
