Safari.... Tanzania is home to some of the most well-known safari destinations in Africa such as the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater also known as the 7th natural wonder of the world. Safaris here are often taken by road travelling through a few different regions and parks, with the same excellent local guide. Game drives are either en-route to your lodge or from the hotel. Our vehicles are spacious 4x4 jeeps with guaranteed window seats and pop-up roofs. A game drive is always an exhilarating experience. You never know what show the animals will put on for you and each drive is never the same as the last. The ‘Big Five’ are a must-see, but the abundance of other animals, birds, insects and plants will fascinate you .In most safari lodges game drives are two or three times per day, lasting a few hours each and including a stop for morning tea or evening sundowners in the African bush.

The Migration The Great Migration is known as one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of the World”. Nowhere in the world is the movement of animals as immense as this migration which sees over two million animals migrate from the Serengeti National Park to the Masai Mara.
4. The River Crossing
3. The Rut
AUG/SEP As the rains set in, this is the time of the annual rut, with half a million cows LAKE mated in less than a month as the VICTORIA herds consolidate in the woodlands and on the plains of the Serengeti’s Western Corridor.

IKORONGO CONTROLLED AREA
OCT/NOV
From the western Serengeti, the herds head for the lush green pastures of the Masai Mara crossing rivers such as the Mbalageti and Grumeti along the way. Once on the grasslands, the wildebeest spend several months feeding and fattening once more. They regularly cross the Mara River (even several times!) to head to greener pastures, despite the life-or-death situation with the infestation of crocs in the waters looking for their next meal.

Towards the end of the dry season, the short-grass plains of the southernmost Serengeti begin to dry out and the wildebeest commence (or continue) their journey. The biggest need is to find water, so they head towards the western woodlands of the Grumeti and a trio of small lakes, Ndutu, Masek, and Lagarja.

1.Calving Season Although there is no ‘official’ start to the Migration, a starting point is the birthing period which normally happens just before the long rains. The wildebeest cows drop their young in a synchronized birthing that sees some 300,000 to 400,000 calves born within two to three weeks of one another. This is a great time to see all the wildebeest together in a huge mass and the young are able to stand and run with their mothers within minutes of being born.
When the first of the rains are falling on the Serengeti’s short-grass plains, the wildebeest start heading south again. In this area the grass has large amounts of potassium that is needed for the young fetus development.

Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route
5 Day Mountain Climb from £1,020
Your tour price includes • Accommodation and meals as per itinerary
Mandara Hut 2,700m | Horombo Hut 3,720m | Kibo Hut 4,700m Uhuru Peak 5,895m | Marangu Gate 1,830m
• Transport in a 4x4 land cruiser accompanied by your English speaking guide
Reasons to go
Most popular route and easiest way to the summit Large diversity of flora and fauna Permanent accommodation in huts Scenic walking trails
• Collection and drop off to Kilimanjaro airport
Day 1 - Marangu Gate: From the gate, you
Day 3 - Horombo Hut: From Horombo Hut
ascend a cleared ridge trail, formerly a vehicle track to Mandara Hut. The cleared trail is the fastest way to Mandara, but opportunities to see wildlife or enjoy the forest are limited due to the heavy foot traffic. An alternative is to ascend along the parallel forest trail and descend on the main trail. The forest trail branches off to the left, a few minutes after the gate, and follows the edge of a stream through the undergrowth. About halfway (1 1/2 hrs from the gate) you can choose to cross the stream and rejoin the main trail, or continue on the forest trail. Both trails continue on opposite sides of the stream, merging about one hour before Mandara Hut (2700m).
there are two trails to the Saddle. The right fork is very stony and eroded and is the most direct route to the Saddle and Mawenzi. From the Saddle (about 2 hrs from Horombo), there are trails to Mawenzi Hut (hr) or Mawenzi Tarn Hut (2 hrs) and across the length of the Saddle to Kibo Hut (3 hrs). The left fork from Horombo Hut is an easier trail and emerges on the Saddle much closer to Kibo and about one kilometer from Kibo Hut. The landscape now becomes rockier and Rugged until the Saddle is reached. Kibo Hut is the overnight stay.
Day 2- Mandara Hut: From Mandara Hut the trail passes through a short stretch of forest and skirts the base of Maundi Crater, crosses a meadow and a wooded stream, then emerges into grassland. It is well worth the short detour to scramble up to the rim of Maundi Crater for a superb view of the mountain and its surroundings. The trail crosses numerous moorland ravines before ending at Horombo Hut, which is set in a rocky valley with a fine stand of giant sceneries or groundsels. Leaving behind the forest and following the ascending path through alpine meadows on to the slopes of Mawenzi.
Number of people Standard Climb - Price in GBP
EXTEND YOUR STAY Your Kilimanjaro climb can an easily be combined with a Safari, or a beach holiday to on one of Zanzibar's picturesque beaches. The choice is yours. Contact us for more details
Day 4 - Kibo Hut: You will rise around 23h30, and this is where the going really gets tough. The first section of the trail consists of a rocky path to the Hans Meyer Cave (5150m), also a good resting spot. The path then zigzags up to Gillman’s point (5 681m), which is located on the crater rim. This section is very steep with a lot of stone scree, requiring a great physical and mental effort. Probably the most demanding section of the entire route.
Day 5 - Horombo Hut: After breakfast you continue your descent, passing the Mandara hut, down to the Marangu gate. At Marangu gate you sign your name and details in a register. This is also where successful climbers receive their summit certificates. You now drive back for a long overdue hot shower, dinner and celebrations!!

Reasons to go

Day 1 - Machame Gate: We now leave the park gate and walk through the rain forest on a winding trail to the first camp, which is located at an altitude of 3,048 meters. Lower down, the trail can be muddy and slippery. Gaiters and trekking poles are essential here. We continue a short distance until we reach the Machame Hut. Here we make camp, rest, enjoy our dinner, and overnight. You have now reached an altitude of 3,000 meters.
Day 2 - Machame Camp: As you gain altitude, notice the change in vegetation. The trees diminish in size, giving way to Kilimanjaro’s famous high altitude plants, Scenecio kilimanjari and Lobelia deckeni. After eating lunch, climb the Shira Plateau, created when Kibo’s lava flows filled the Shira crater. Continue to Shira Camp, where you will relax for the rest of the day. Kibo lies to the west and Mount Meru to the east. Day 3- Barranco Camp: After breakfast, hike east on the Shira Plateau before reaching the junction for the Shira and Lemosho Routes. Continue on through the barren landscape before stopping for lunch. Shortly after lunch, reach the highest point of the day before descending quickly to Barranco Camp. Faster hikers can take a detour via Lava Tower, a 300-foot lava formation jutting out of the mountainside.

Day 4 - Barafu Camp: After breakfast, we leave Barranco and continue on a steep ridge passing the Barranco Wall, through the Karanga Valley (4200m), and the junction that connects with the Mweka Trail. We continue to the Barafu Hut, which is located at an altitude of 4,600 meters. You have completed the South Circuit, which offers views of the summit from many different angles.The two peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo are to be seen from this position.
EXTEND YOUR STAY Your Kilimanjaro climb can an easily be combined with a Safari, or a beach holiday to on one of Zanzibar's picturesque beaches. The choice is yours. Contact us for more details
Day 5 - Mweka Camp: The hike from Stella Point to Uhuru Peak is a gradual climb and, as far as hikes go, not very difficult. The altitude, however, makes the hike long and tiring. The crater rim hike takes approximately one hour. Upon reaching Uhuru, take photos of your guide and group at the peak before beginning the descent to Mweka Camp. On the way down from Uhuru, enjoy views of the mountain, crater, clouds and glaciers.
Day 6 - Mweka Gate: After breakfast, we continue the descent down to the Mweka Park Gate. At lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy. Gaiters and trekking poles will help. Shorts and t-shirts will probably be plenty to wear (keep raingear and warmer clothing handy). A vehicle will meet you at Mweka village to drive you back to Moshi or Arusha. It is time for celebrations with this lifetime achievement!!

Day 4 - Karanga Camp: From Karanga the
hike on this first day is through the Montana Forest. Lush vegetation with very old trees and lilts of ferns and mosses mark this as an area that gets reliable rain year round. The forest abounds with wildlife; small bushbuck & duikers as well as monkeys. There is also rich and varied bird life. The first three hours or so is on gently rising land before steepening for the last two hours. The camp for the night is in a small clearing on the trail.
tour heads up a moraine ridge taking your time and going slowly. The views here can be spectacular on the southern glaciers and of the glacial valleys that snake their way down the mountain. The final stage to Barafu is quite steep, and as always it’s taken it very slowly. As with the day before you reach camp by around lunch time leaving lots of time to prepare and relax. In the evening your guide briefs you for the final ascent.
Day 2 - Umbwe Cave Camp: Shortly after
Day 5 - Barafu Camp: Very early in the
starting the hike the forest gradually gives away to the giant heath. The trail has been following a ridge for some time and as it ascends through the heath land the ridge narrows and sharpens, finally becoming knife edge with steep drops on each side. As the height of the heath reduces there are stunning views of both Kilimanjaro’s southern flank and across the Mount Meru some 50 miles away. The camp is overlooking the Barranco Valley with views up towards Arrow Glacier.
Day 3 - Barranco Camp: On the eastern side of the valley, across the stream is the Barranco Wall – a 950 ft. barrier of volcanic rock. Although it is tall and looks steep, it is very easy to climb.

AIRPORTS
International flights serve Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), 15 km from Dar es Salaam city centre and Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), 42 km from Arusha. Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ) airport is 8 km from Stone Town.
VISAS
Most visitors require visas with the exception of citizens of certain countries of the Commonwealth. It is advisable to obtain them in advance from Embassies and High Commissions as several airlines insist on them prior to departure. They can however also be obtained, on arrival, at all points of entry.
Requirements may change so you are advised to contact the appropriate diplomatic or consular authority before finalising your travel arrangements. Although part of the union of Tanzania, Zanzibar remains independent so, passports/Tanzania visas are required even on a day’s visit. It is essential that all visitors take a course of anti-malaria tablets commencing two weeks before departure. The UK Department of Health also recommends vaccinations against hepatitis A, polio and typhoid. Personal insurance is advised. Travellers arriving from, or via, countries where yellow fever is endemic will need a Certificate of Vaccination although vaccination is available on arrival. Hospitals provide good medical care in cities and towns. Flying Doctors facilities are also available.
WHAT TO TAKE
Don’t forget the camera, camcorder and binoculars and take a torch for finding your way around your camp at night. Stock up with replacement batteries for all these goods. Take sun-glasses, hat, sun lotion, lip balm - and some insect repellent, it is better not to get stung even if you are taking anti-malaria tablets. It’s best to take any medicines required for the duration of the visit. A spare pair of glasses or contact lenses is also a good idea. Take plenty of film, it is difficult to obtain outside the main centres. While traveller’s cheques can be exchanged in cities and towns, banking facilities in remote areas are restricted, so take plenty of cash.
Some safaris/air charters limit baggage to a 10-15 kilo maximum. English is widely spoken but a few words of Swahili are always appreciated.
CURRENCY
The unit of currency is the Tanzania shilling which is divided into 100 cents. Most major currencies particularly US dollars - and travellers’ cheques are accepted and may be converted at banks and bureaux de change in the main towns and tourist areas. Do NOT change money in the street however favourable the rate appears. It should be noted that not all establishments accept credit cards and certain cards, particularly Diners and Amercan Express, are frequently refused even by major hotels. Mastercard and Visa are preferred.
ON SAFARI
Distances in Tanzania are vast, and travel by road can be tiring. It is wise to spend more time in fewer parks. You will see more and won’t return home exhausted. Keep your distance from animals to avoid distressing them. Always follow the instructions of your ranger or guide. Don’t leave your vehicle in the parks except in designated places. Keep to recognised tracks to avoid damaging vegetation.
WHAT TO WEAR
It never gets really cold in Tanzania so lightweight clothing is the norm. On safari avoid brightly coloured clothes, they may alarm the animals.
Browns, beiges and khaki are preferred. Short-sleeve shirts/ blouses and shorts are ideal, but pack a sweater, it can be chilly in the early morning and in the evening. Wear a hat to avoid sun-stroke and don’t forget a swimsuit. Shoes should be sensible - walking through the bush is not like strolling through Hyde Park - and for climbing Kilimanjaro or Mount Meru take thermal underwear, a rain jacket, good socks and sturdy boots. Shorts for women are acceptable - but not too short. Women should carry a wrap to cover their legs in towns or villages as revealing clothes can cause offence, especially in Zanzibar and other Muslim areas. On the beach, and within the confines of beach hotels, normal swimwear is acceptable but nudity certainly not.
TIPPING
Not normally obligatory but a tip for exceptional service - a maximum of 10% - will be appreciated. Tip $10-$15 per day for drivers or tour guides but remember an excessive tip can make it difficult for the next customer.
