The 10 Best Historical & Heritage Tours in Kilimanjaro National Park, Kilimanjaro Region
Centering around massive Kilimanjaro (Africa's highest peak and the world's tallest free-standing mountain, rising to nearly 20,000 feet), the national park protects the area above 8,850 feet. On ascent, the mountain's foothills morph into lush forests, serving as home to elephants, leopard and buffalo. Further up are moorlands covered in giant heather, then alpine desert land. Higher still come the ice and snow that make Kilimanjaro famous. Hikes to the top (Uhuru Peak) take six to seven days.

We highly recommend touring with OneBike. In the planning stages, OneBike staff were excellent communicators who were flexible and accommodating in tailoring a 3-day tour to meet all of our goals. The trip itself exceeded our expectations on every front by combining biking with a traditional safari and cultural program. It was amazing to bike amidst safari animals, interact with local people and learn about Maasai culture. A wide range of cyclers can partake, even kids, because those who want a break can ride in the support vehicle. Hillary and Octavian were friendly, professional, knowledgeable guides who shared fascinating information about the area's flora and fauna as well as the local and tribal cultures, while Octavian was an experienced, careful and safe driver. We stayed in beautiful lodges with comfortable accommodations and delicious, locally grown food. If you like biking and outdoor adventures and want to have a new experience that is a twist on traditional the safari, go with OneBike!

Highly recomend Maua Adventures. We made Kilimanjaro, safari and Oldonyo Lengai. All trips were perfectly planned. Profesional support on climbing Kili made us feeling safe. If you are making safari ask Jackson for off-road to Oldonyo Lengai and Lake Natron. Maybe he will organise it for you.

After friends had told us about their Kili trek we got hooked on the idea of our own trip to Tanzania to climb that famous mountain. The guide of the trek we had been told about also had taken the bold step to create his own company - Kili Land Adventures. So we decided to seize the opportunity and contacted Kili Land Adventures about our tour. Their planning efforts started immediately and we were presented with a tour plan (Lemosho route) that we felt was very sensible and tailored to our abilities. A packing list was provided and many more details via email. The trip itself was very much at stake during the Covid-19 times, but in the end we could travel to Tanzania using Qatar Airways. Our hike onto Mount Kili was an unforgettable experience. Our crew of guides, porters and one cook were the kindest and most supportive people imaginable. They cared for us very, very well; they judged our progress on the mountain and proposed favorable modifications to the tour plan to optimize our use of time and to ensure good progress on our way to the summit. In the end we had some "difficulties" only on the summit day (which was to be expected), but all the other days went very smoothly thanks to the crew's diligent planning of our acclimatization. And finally, we made it to the summit, all four of us, just as planned! It was difficult (I won't lie about that!), but in the end we felt safe and confident, throughout the summit day. The guides were very generous in answering all of our (many!) questions and patiently waited for us to take hundreds of photos. I have the highest respect for the people of our crew, be it the guides or the porters, these guys are some of the toughest persons on this planet. Let me add that after our Kili trip we also went on to some days of safari (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti). Our safari driver-guide was suggested and hired for us also by Kili Land Adventures (although the guide does not work directly for them). This guide was extremely motivated, kind, and knowledgable, and therefore the whole safari was absolutely on par with our unforgettable Kili trip. So if you consider traveling to Tanzania, do yourself a favor and contact Kili Land Adventures to work out a plan for you. You will be a happy customer ...

5. Machame Route 6 days 5 Nights/Kilimanjaro Climb
Overall Ratings
4.9 based on 8 reviews
Machame Route 6 Days 5 Nights Overview: Machame Route now vies with – and indeed over the last few years has overtaken – the Marangu Route as the most popular trail. Machame is also the regarded by many guides as the most enjoyable, though it is longer and, according to most, more arduous. Despite this, the success rate on the Machame Route is higher than on the Marangu Route, possibly because the Machame is a day longer at six days and five nights (assuming you take the Barafu Route to the summit) which gives trekkers more time to acclimatize. An extra acclimatization day can – and usually is -taken in the Karanga Valley. The Machame Route also gives you the option of taking the Western Breach / Arrow Glacier Route to the summit.

It was an amazing experience that leaves a mark on the soul of a sensitive person forever. If you are not afraid that a piece of you and your heart, will stay in Africa - decide on an adventure with Migration Venture Africa. Perfect organization, logistics and a high standard, together with a committed and experienced employee of the company, are guarantee for wonderful 6 days. Our driver and guide was TOM, an extremely sociable, intelligent and responsible person. We already know that we will come back to safari and only with Migration Venture Africa. For us, the end of the safari was not a "Out of Africa", but the beginning of a long-term relationship with this continent To było niesamowite doświadczenie, które na zawsze pozostawia ślad w duszy wrażliwego człowieka. Jeśli nie boisz się tego, że kawałek Ciebie, a przede wszystkim Twojego serca zostanie w Afryce - zdecyduj się na przygodę z Migration Venture Africa. Doskonała organizacja, dopracowana logistykaz wysoki standard, w pakiecie z zaangażowanym i doświadczonym pracownikiem firmy są gwarancją wspaniałego spędzenia 6 dni.

Dla nas koniec safari nie był "Pożegnaniem z Afryką", a początkiem wieloletniej relacji z tym kontynentem
6. Mount Kilimanjaro Rongai Route
Because of its remote location the route offers trekkers a relatively unspoilt wilderness experience where it is possible to see large wildlife like antelope, elephant and buffalo. The North-East side of the mountain gets significantly less moisture than the southern slopes which means that trekkers are less likely to encounter rain. Trekkers are also more likely to get clear, unclouded views of the mountain. The Rongai Route is flatter than the other Kilimanjaro routes but because of its profile it does not offer trekkers good options to climb high and sleep low. It can be hiked on a six, seven or even eight day. The seven or eight day Rongai routes are highly recommended as trekkers have extra days to acclimatise.

With three extra days in Namibia, I decided to include a quick trip to Etosha. I struggled to find a company that was still operational, and met my needs. Then I chatted with Megan, representative with Across Africa. I quickly knew she was actually interested in helping. Her sincerity, honesty, humanity and dedication were recognized immediately, and I knew that I didn’t need to search further. She set up my trip with no hidden BS, made an effort to meet all my needs, and did all of it promptly, professionally, and graciously. My trip turned out perfectly down to the last detail. I credit Megan and my guide Steve for making my quick visit to Etosha unforgettable. Because of them I will use Across Africa in the future and suggest to others that they do the same!
