Experience the Best of Tanzania: Combining a Kilimanjaro Climb with a Serengeti Safari

Greetings, adventurous souls! Have you ever dreamed of standing atop Africa’s highest peak and then wandering amidst the world’s most famous wildlife spectacle—all in one trip? If so, combining a climb of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro with an exhilarating safari in the Serengeti is the perfect adventure itinerary for you. Here at Safari Multiways, the premier tour operator based in Tanzania, we specialize in turning such dreams into breathtaking realities. Read on to discover how you can embark on this quintessential Tanzanian adventure!

Why Combine Kilimanjaro with the Serengeti?

Tanzania offers an incredible array of landscapes and experiences, and two of its crown jewels are Mount Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti National Park. Climbing Kilimanjaro presents a formidable challenge and an accomplishment of a lifetime, while the Serengeti offers unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities that encapsulate the essence of African safari adventures. Combining both experiences provides a holistic appreciation of Tanzania’s natural beauty—from its highest peaks to its vast plains.

Step 1: Understanding Your Adventure

Climbing Kilimanjaro: Standing at 5,895 meters, Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the continent’s most accessible high summits. Most climbers reach the crater rim with little more than a walking stick, proper clothing, and determination. Routes vary in difficulty and duration but expect the journey to take between 5 to 9 days.

Exploring the Serengeti: After conquering the heights of Kilimanjaro, a safari through the sweeping plains of the Serengeti is the perfect way to recover and relax. Home to the great wildebeest migration, the Serengeti offers some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa, with lions, elephants, rhinos, and countless other species roaming freely.

Step 2: Planning Your Trip

Best Time to Visit: The best time to climb Kilimanjaro is during the dry months of January to March and June to October. Coincidentally, these periods also offer great wildlife viewing opportunities in the Serengeti, especially the dramatic river crossings of the wildebeest migration around July and August.

Physical Preparation: Climbing Kilimanjaro is physically demanding. Adequate physical preparation is essential, including cardiovascular training and strength workouts. Similarly, while the Serengeti safari is less physically strenuous, days can be long under the sun, requiring a reasonable level of fitness.

Step 3: Booking Your Adventure

Transitioning to the Serengeti: After your descent, a short flight or drive will take you into the heart of the Serengeti. Here, you can unwind in a comfortable safari lodge before spending your days witnessing the awe-inspiring wildlife and your evenings enjoying stunning African sunsets.
