Join Rare Africa Travel on an adventure across the national parks of Northern Tanzania. Your experience will begin in the greatest concentration of free roaming wildlife in the world within the most diverse regions in Tanzania: Tarangire and Serengeti National Parks, and the amazing Ngorongoro Crater. Next, follow in the footsteps of geologist Hans Meyer and many locals prior who were the first to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano south of the equator and is the largest free standing mountain on Earth. Guides will lead you up the mountain in 6 days via the Machame route, moving through five distinct climate zones towards our goal of the summit at 19,341 feet.
