Itinerary

Introduction

On this trip, you will explore the city with all of its key areas followed by hiking along Mount Kilimanjaro National Park through Shira Plateau. With a height of 19,341 feet (5,895 meters), Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and is situated in Tanzania, East Africa. One of the seven summits, it is the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. It has a snow-capped summit, which is a part of Kilimanjaro National Park.

Day 01

You’ll pass through a forest reserve on the way to West Kilimanjaro, where you can drive and spot Colobus monkeys among the trees. You begin your hike at 3,500 meters above sea level and proceed through the stunningly untamed Shira Plateau landscape. You’ll step out of the vehicle, put on your shoes, and enjoy the sights, sounds, and hues of Tanzania’s breathtaking wilderness. When the weather permits, you can see views of Kilimanjaro’s northern glaciers and its highest peak, Kibo, while hiking various trails under the guidance of a ranger. The views of the highest free-standing mountain in the world are juxtaposed with the vast plains of the neighboring Amboseli National Park in Kenya and the deep gorge of the Simba River. You will make a brief stop at various observation points along the northern rim of Shira Crater to observe the volcanic cones that dot the surrounding terrain. Following a four-hour hike—or shorter if your legs tire—you will return to your hotel.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing safari experience with Borbo Safaris. From the very beginning, Rebeca and Emanuel welcomed me like part of their family I really felt safe and comfortable! Emanuel was honest and clear about what to expect during the safari, which I really appreciated. Communication was open and straightforward, making everything easy and clear. During the safari, I saw all of the Big Five and many other incredible animals, surrounded by stunning landscapes. I joined a group safari and spent the days with a lovely group of people. As a solo traveler, it was a great way to meet others. The guide was fantastic, always listening to our interests and making sure we saw as much as possible. He worked hard to give everyone the best experience. In short, it was an unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend Borbo Safaris to anyone who wants a genuine, caring, and amazing safari experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did a 4 day Safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Nationalparks . The tour was very well organized. The driver and guide was nice and explained a lot. The food in the camps was really good. I can highly recommend Safari and Homestay with Rebecca and Emanuel!
