    Embarking on 7-day Kilimanjaro climbing expedition via Lemosho route was a life-altering adventure that pushed the boundaries of my physical mental strength. The lemosho route gradual ascent allowed for acclimatization while the breathtaking landscapes shifted from lush rainforests to alpine desolation. Our dedicated team from Africa Natural Tours provide unwavering support from expert guides sharing their knowledge of the Mountai's ecology to the porters tireless efforts to ensure Our comfort. Summit night was a test of resilience under a sky adorned with stars, and as well reached Uhuru Peak, the sunrise painted a canvas of accomplishment beyond words. This journey not only conquered Africa's highest peak but also unlocked a profound belief in the power of determination. If you seek an Unforgettable challenge with soul-strring rewards,

      This journey blends breathtaking landscapes with immersive cultural encounters—from the vibrant traditions of the Maasai people in Kenya to the warm hospitality and rich heritage of the Chagga community in Tanzania. Along the way, you'll visit authentic villages, share stories with local elders, experience traditional dances, and explore daily life as it has been preserved for generations.

    • Africa Natural ToursOperatorWritten August 2025

      In Moshi, especially on Day 5 and Day 6, you will enjoy overnights at the Kilimanjaro White House Hotel, perfectly positioned for a clear and stunning view of Africa's highest mountain. June is part of Tanzania's dry season, offering crisp mornings and golden sunsets—both perfect moments to witness the mountain's snow-capped summit in all its glory right from your hotel's vantage point.

    Kenneth

    Asked on May 26th, 2025

    Would like to know if the advertised price of US $3750 is complete and that there are no other additional add on as far the tour goes. Also, would like to take a balloon ride on the serengeti, is that included? If not how much more is it? Is it possible to see the wildebeest migration if I take the tour in mid August (~17 or 18 th)?

    Tour Details
    • Africa Natural ToursOperatorWritten May 2025

      Based on your requested travel dates, this tour is available as a private safari, and the cost for 1 person is USD 6,968. Group safaris typically operate in the Central Serengeti and do not include the Northern Serengeti, where the Great Migration and river crossings can be witnessed. Group tours to the North Serengeti are not available due to the distance and logistics involved.
