8 DAYS 7 NIGHTS LEMOSHO AND 3 DAYS TASTE OF SAFARI

Day 1: Shira Gate to Simba Camp

After traveling for around four hours from Arusha to Londorossi Gate, where you will finish the entry procedures, depart. Proceed to the Lemosho trailhead by car. We start our hike at the trailhead and travel through untouched woodland until we reach the first camp spot.

DAY 2: Mti Mkubwa to Shira 1 Camp.

Follow the trail that leads away from the rain forest and onto a savannah including heather, tall grasses, and volcanic rock covered in beards of lichen. After climbing through the verdant, undulating slopes and across multiple streams, you will arrive at the Shira Ridge and then descend gradually to Shira 1 Camp. This is when you first see Kibo on the other side of the plateau.

DAY 3: Shira 1 Camp to Moir Hut.

Spend the entire day exploring the Shira Plateau. Heading east on moorland meadows, the hike is moderate and leads to Shira 2 Camp. Next, veer off the main trail to Moir Hut, a little visited location at the foot of Lent Hills. Lent Hills offers a wide range of treks, which makes it a great place to get acclimated. One of the world's tallest plateaus is the Shira Plateau.

DAY 4: Moir Hut to Lava Tower down Barranco Camp

Lava Tower to Barranco Camp

We proceed eastward, climbing a hill before turning southeast to reach the 300-foot-tall volcanic rock structure known as the Lava Tower. We drop to 13,000 feet and pass through the unusual but stunning Senecio Forest to reach Barranco Camp. Even though you start and finish the day at the same height, spending some time at a higher altitude is highly advantageous for acclimatization.

DAY 5: Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp

We start the day by making our way down into a gully that leads to the Great Barranco Wall's base. Next, we ascend the steep, approximately 900-foot cliff, which is not challenging. We traverse a sequence of hills and valleys after reaching the top of the Barranco Wall before making a dramatic descent into Karanga Valley. We have one more tough ascent to Karanga Camp. This is a shorter day designed to help you get used to it.

DAY 6: Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp.

Ascending to the rocky stretch leading to Barafu Hut, you will leave Karanga and arrive at the junction with the Mweka Trail. You have now finished the Southern Circuit, which provides numerous perspectives of the summit. In order to be ready for the summit day, set up camp here, take a nap, and have an early dinner. From here, one can see Kibo's peak and Mawenzi's peak.

Day 7: Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak

Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp.

Very early in the morning, sometime after midnight. Start your ascent to the top. This is the hardest part of the walk, both physically and mentally. At this altitude and time of day, there can be intense wind and cold. You will climb for several hours in the dark, stopping often for brief rests. You will be rewarded with the most spectacular sunrise you are likely to witness coming over Mawenzi Peak near Stella Point (18,900 feet). Reach Uhuru Peak, the highest peak on both the African continent and Mount Kilimanjaro, at last.

Once you've enjoyed and congratulated yourself on reaching the summit, head straight down to the Mweka Hut tent site, stopping for lunch at Barafu. Trekking poles are useful because the trail can be extremely difficult on the knees and is very rocky. Due to Mweka Camp's location in an upper forest, mist or rain is possible in the late afternoon. You will have your final meal on the mountain later in the evening, followed by a well-earned sleep.

Day 8: Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate

Proceed down to Mweka Gate on your final day and pick up your summit credentials. It can be muddy and damp at lower altitudes. Proceed to Mweka Village after an additional hour from the gate. You will be picked up from Mweka Village and driven back to your accommodation in Arusha town by a car. END OF THE TREK.

Arusha National Park is a compact, breathtaking park with a variety of activities that can be fit into a single day of travel. The park is the nearest, just a one-hour drive from Kilimanjaro International Airport and Arusha town. There is an abundance of wildlife to be observed up close. From the colobus monkeys, hyenas, leopards, giraffes, buffaloes, bushbucks, and giraffes in black and white. This park is home to about 400 different types of birds, including fish, snake eagles, hornbills, pelicans, and flamingos. The stunning Seven Momela Lakes, the Ngurdoto Crater, and the second-highest mountain in Tanzania, Mount Meru, are three of Arusha Park's most prized and noteworthy attractions. When there are no clouds in the sky, you can clearly see the pinnacle of Mount Meru and the snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro.

The BEST THREE things to do in a single day are a nature walk in the morning, a wildlife game drive in the afternoon, and canoeing in the lake.

Three-hour wildlife game drive: Following a delightful physical nature walk, return to the safari vehicle for a game drive through the Serengeti Ndogo, ascending to the viewpoint of Ngurdoto Crater. This is the ideal location for a picnic lunch, after which you can descend to the shores of Momela Lakes and hop into the canoe.

Take a three-hour nature walk with a park ranger and enjoy a lovely stroll beneath the canopy. Through the rainforest, the ranger will lead you to the sparkling waterfalls where you might be able to see colobus monkeys.

A serene and picturesque two-hour boat excursion around Momella Lake's shorelines. Views of buffaloes, bushbucks, giraffes, hippos, and several water birds that live in and near the water are available on this canoe safari. Following a full day of exploring one or both of the activities, you will return by car to your Arusha accommodation. Better make plans for your packed, take-out breakfast with hotel the night before the journey.

DAY 2: TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

2 Hours drive from Arusha town to Tarangire National Park.

Meet your knowledgeable safari guide in the hotel bar at 7:30 am to get ready for the safari. After packing all of your safari gear into the safari car, head out for a two-hour trip to Tarangire Park, which entails a circuitous route around Arusha town. Along the way, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of Tanzania's varied wildlife, agricultural, and livestock producing landscapes. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of herdsmen leading herds of huge cattle to fresh pastures or the cattle market in the early morning hours.

Your driver-guide, who is well-versed in the nation, will provide you with general information during the two-hour trip. Before you know it, the guide will be at the Tarangire Park gate parking lot. Following standard registration procedures, set out on a game drive through an abundant panorama of boundless golden savannah forests that envelop the region and extend towards the Tarangire River. The river itself is year-round and provides the region's animals with an essential supply of water for the duration of the season. The river, which is bordered by Baobab and acacia trees, is frequently frequented by enormous herds of elephants as well as other herbivores like zebras and antelopes. For the predators, it is also the best predation sport.

DAY 3: Serengeti National Park - OverNight Ngorongoro

On this final day in the stunning Serengeti National Park, your guide will be prepared for an early morning game drive before breakfast (a hot air balloon ride over the park's plains can be booked at an additional cost). When the first rays of sunlight reach the woods, you can observe cats preying, vultures soaring across the sky, and other predators and grazers congregating for the morning's verdant greenery. Depending on the season, the incredible wildebeest migration is a remarkable sight. The game drive ends at around 10 a.m. to fully enjoy this magnificent dawn spectacle.

You can choose to eat your picnic lunch at the picnic area or beneath an acacia or baobab tree. Your guide will provide it to you. Continue your game drive around the park after lunch, where you may spot lions, leopards, cape buffalo, and a wide range of antelopes. Should you be extremely fortunate, you may even spot threatened species like the Greater Kudu or the Fringe-Eared Oryx. Drive to the lodge or campsite after dusk for dinner and overnight.

DAY 2: LAKE MANYARA PARK GAME DRIVE

6-8hrs for game drive and 2-3hrs drive to Arusha town or Kilimanjaro Airport

You're probably worried about what this last day of the Lake Manyara Park game drive has in store for you.

Lake Manyara Park provides some of the world's best game viewing experiences and is unquestionably the best photographer's paradise. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to go on a quick 3–4 hour nature walk during this early morning sunrise, at a somewhat higher fee, if you were unable to go on a night game drive last night? Do you really think you want to get out of the vehicle and walk the footpath under the guidance of an armed park ranger? Do not be afraid to walk up close to animals and the natural world; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make lifelong memories.

You may anticipate seeing some of the most iconic creatures in Africa on your game drive, including the proud, tree-climbing lions that are a special treat in this park. You should also not miss the Masai and Reticulated giraffes, who virtually demand to be photographed. Lake Manyara is a birdwatcher's paradise, with hundreds of different species of birds on show throughout the park. Large flocks of larger and lesser flamingos carpeting on the lake, circling predatory birds, and the vividly colored lilac-breasted roller are sure to astonish even the most inexperienced observer.

After crossing multiple hippopotamus pools and finishing your twilight game drive with a foot taste of the natural subterranean hot spring, you can check out of the park and head back to Arusha to be dropped off at your hotel or airport. End OF TRIP
