Serengeti & Kilimanjaro

Fifteen days combining a Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater safari with a full trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro. This is two big trips in one — game drives across the plains, then days of steady climbing to Africa's highest point.

You travel overland in a purpose-built vehicle with a small group, camping in the Serengeti with no barriers between you and the wildlife, and pitching tents again on the mountain. Expect early starts, long travel days, and a genuine sense of roughing it.

This suits active travellers who want more than a standard safari — the reward is reaching the summit, but the days beforehand test your legs, your patience with dust and early mornings, and your tolerance for basic facilities.
