Tour Plan
Your adventure begins early with a pick-up from your hotel and a scenic drive to Kilimanjaro National Park and the Marangu Gate to begin your Kilimanjaro day hike. Known as the "Coca-Cola Route," this trail is famous for its lush rainforest and stunning scenery. As you trek through the dense forest, you’ll have the opportunity to see wildlife like monkeys and various bird species. Although reaching the summit isn’t feasible in a single day, the hike to Mandara Hut offers spectacular views of the mountain and a real taste of the Kilimanjaro experience. After the trek, you’ll travel to Karibu Heritage in Tarangire, where you’ll relax and enjoy a restful evening in a tranquil environment, preparing for the next day’s adventure.
After an early breakfast, your safari will continue with a scenic drive to Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera. The journey will take approximately an hour, and upon arrival, you will be in awe of the breathtaking landscapes. Ngorongoro Crater is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, rhinos, lions, and hippos, making it the perfect place to spot the Big Five. Your expert guide will lead you on a full-day game drive within the crater, where you can witness the dense concentration of animals and learn about the unique ecosystem that thrives in this natural wonder. Lunch will be served in the crater’s lush surroundings, providing the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the incredible scenery. Afterward, the game drive continues around the crater’s rim, offering panoramic views of the vast wilderness below. In the evening, return to Marera Lodge to unwind and reflect on the day’s unforgettable safari experiences.
