Mount Kilimanjaro Trek 6 Days 5 Nights Via the Machame Route - Itinerary

Package Overview

TANZANIA!
What is so special in this country? Why do National Geographic photographers and tourists love
this destination so much? Why do tourists return there again and again?
Yes here are some tips that might be some of the reasons to all the questions, In Tanzania you can
find the most famous reserves in the world! The magical Serengeti National Park where you can
enjoy a ride in a jeep Land Cruiser and for days hardly see a human. Before you will expand to the
horizon, endless plains laced with crowds of wild animals. You can be excited when you watch
escapes and new life or in the pursuit of survival hunting, because even so the predators also have
to eat...
The landscape is a changing... You can climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa
and the highest freestanding mountain in the World or Mount Meru, the fifth highest mountain in
Africa and challenge yourself against "Mountain of God" – Oldoinyo Lengai an active volcanic
mountain lying in the Great Rift Valley, hike around impressive lakes or waterfalls and bathe in
hot springs in between.
You will be able to spend long hours dividing ancient tribes and get excited about the different
customs of other tribes. You will be able to visit a school, wander in markets and collide with all
the senses. You can eat local or western food and choose whether to sleep in luxurious lodges or
pampering tents in the heart of the nightly "action". Don't worry, the tents are equipped with
comfortable beds, shower and toilet and are completely safe.
Beautiful sunrises, romantic sunsets and a huge variety of winged animals and animals modeling
for the photographers.
Tanzania is the best to take a "time out", to release stress, clear your head and relax all systems.
The beautiful country will provide you with nature experiences, culture, adventures and stories
you desire to tell your family and friends.
In what format you can visit Tanzania? – It can be couples, family, friends and even solo trips.

  and focused on the amazing sense of accomplishment that lies ahead. With a switchback motion
  in a northwesterly direction and ascend through heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim.

  may view the sunrise from the summit. From here on your remaining 1 hour ascent to Uhuru Peak,
  you are likely to encounter snow all the way. Congratulations, one step at a time you have now
  reached Uhuru Peak the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the entire continent of Africa!

  time to say goodbye. We continue the descent down to the Mweka Park Gate to receive your
  summit certificates. As the weather is drastically warmer, the terrain is wet, muddy and steep and
  we highly recommend Gaiters and trekking poles.
  From the gate, a vehicle will meet you at Mweka village to drive you back to your hotel in Moshi
  (about 30 minutes). Enjoy a long overdue hot shower, dinner and celebrations!!
