Description
Discover the rugged secrets and iconic animals of Tanzania in 13 days. Climb on famous Kilimanjaro, and descend into the Serengeti, where beautiful and unique herds of animals roam and flourish.
Machame is a village sat on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro, and thus a popular springboard onto the mountain. We walk through dense rainforest on winding trails; continue ascending a steep and rocky ridge, crossing a large river gorge to Shira 2 Camp.
Then we head to Lava Tower, a tall volcanic rock formation, before descending through the curious Senecio Forest with its captivating trees. Our next landmark is the Great Barranco Wall, crossing a collection of hills and valleys until we reach the Karanga Valley.
On day 6 we connect with the Mweka Trail and follow rocky sections, which also feature unbelievable views of the summits of Mawenzi and Kibo. Then we push on to the Uhuru Peak, which will be the most challenging point along our whole journey. Views are breathtaking, while you stand at the top of Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in all of Africa.
As we make our way down, the terrain in steep and rocky, while we head towards the Mweka Gate to exit the mountains.
Once accomplished, we’ll head over to Tarangire National Park, which is well known for its large collection of baobab trees and mammal population, especially elephants.
Then we head to the magnificent Ngorongoro crater, one of most densely populated African wildlife areas, and home to 30,000 animals including the black rhino, zebra, buffalo, hippo, lions, hyenas, cheetahs and many more.
We’ll visit Lake Magadi, one of the main features of the crater, before proceeding to the Serengeti, perhaps the most famous protected areas on Earth, that is bursting with wildlife and natural wonder.

What people are saying about Sirikwa
Mount Kilimanjaro Such an incredible journey! The whole experience was perfect. Leone and Jonathon guided us safely, Abbas and Pray kept us fed, Mr. Machame carried the heaviest loads, Joshua and Ramadan and the rest of the group made sure we were comfortable. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime. We hope to see the entire crew again soon.
As Advertised Sirikwa handled everything. Very responsive and respectful, didn't need to worry about local or hidden fees. Exactly as advertised. The trek was great!
9 Day Safari + 4 Days in Zanzibar I highly, highly recommend Sirikwa Travel. My best friend and I did a nine day safari in Tanzania's northern circuit of national parks and then four days in Zanzibar. It was an absolutely amazing trip of a lifetime!

We had an amazing time during our journey to the summit of Lenana . It was really difficult but with the help and accurate direction of our guide , James, we were able to reach the summit just to eclipse our eyes with the sunrise. I will never forget the images and the feeling of accomplishment from the top . During our ascendant we had a wonderful team of driver , porters , cook and guide : Willis, bernard, terrace, Joseph, jackelin, Simon , Tim and James ; all of them gave to us a warm welcome, always smiling and making sure we were confortable and mostly safe. The only discomfort was at Shipton camp where the conditions are really precarious. It looks like no one care about honouring the beauty of nature that surround the camp. They ( rock mountain hotel ) should respect such a lovely location, be proud and take measurements to have a camp on the level that the site offers. We really felt like sleeping in a pig pen 1 toilet for 20 people with bumped beds with not ladders and no space between one another . Really it is a place that need URGENTLY a remake . With regard on the main agency EXPLORE-SHARE ; we experienced an issue post booking . We did not received clear information, our question where not answered , etc . Fortunately , Nicky came and sorted out everything for us ( grateful forever) she made the changes needed and we finally got the best ( Siriwa travel). In short “UNIQUE EXPERIENCE, where challenge is constantly surrounded by a great scenery in a huge National Park”. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
