Description
Uncover the wild natural secrets of Tanzania during an 11-day safari trek that will take you through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, the Serengeti and the giant of Kilimanjaro.
We’ll begin this epic adventure from the Lemosho glades, which are at the west side of the legendry Kilimanjaro. We’ll begin with a steady climb through forest before reaching Big Tree Camp, our first camp on our journey.
We’ll cover much ground as we trek across a plateau of grassy moorland scattered with beautiful volcanic rock formations, and make our way first to Shira 1 Camp and then Shira 2 Camo, with unbelievable views of Kibo Peak, which pierces the clouds, as well as of the Northern Ice Fields.
We next tackle upland desert and lava ridges beneath glaciers, reaching Lava Tower (4,640m), before a steep descent to camp on the base of the Great Barranco Valley (3,960m). We pass beneath the huge ravine and Heim and Kersten glaciers, towards the Karanga valley, where we find a steep climb.
After a walk to Barafu camp (4,640m) we’ll gain altitude as we reach the stunning summit of Uhuru Peak (5,895m). From here we descend to Mweka camp (3,100m) and then a gentle trek through the rainforest to Mweda Gate.
Once accomplished, we’ll head over to Tarangire National Park, which is famous for its large collection of baobab trees and mammal population including elephants.
Then finally, 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.

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”. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You did not give a detailed packing list for this trekking. it would be nice if you already to give the option to stay in the Austrian Hut (we did) . The daily description could be better. The first day we walked 5 km and the last day 9km. The other days we walked 7-8 hours
