New Year's Climbing Kilimanjaro
plus safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro

Mandara - Horombo

Early in the morning after breakfast we will leave the Mandara camp and begin trekking to the second high-altitude camp Horombo (3720 m). On this day, upon arrival at the camp, we will see two volcanoes at once for the first time - Kibo and Mawenzi. A couple of hours after lunch, we will have to make an acclimatization trek towards the Barafu camp, with an altitude gain of 200 m, and descend back to the Horombo camp, where dinner will be prepared for us.

Note: The acclimatization trek consists of light trekking with a slight climb in order to speed up the acclimatization process.

Horombo - Kibo

Immediately after breakfast we make the trek to the Kibo assault camp (4700 m). The trekking is not difficult, the main thing is to choose the right pace so as not to lose strength before the summit of Kilimanjaro. Upon arrival at the camp for us They will prepare lunch, after which it is better to allocate as much time as possible to sleep, avoid physical activity and drink a lot of water, because we have an assault on the summit ahead!

Top of Kilimanjaro!

Night departure from Kibo camp (4700 m) and the beginning of the ascent to the top of Kilimanjaro - Uhuru Peak (5895 m). The assault will be moderate in terms of physical exertion, but the altitude poses a much more serious challenge. Throughout the entire ascent, each pair of participants will be assigned their own guide, who will monitor their physical and moral condition. If desired, after successfully reaching Uhuru Peak, you can also descend to the nearest glacier.

Next we will return to Kibo camp, where we will have a two-hour rest, after which we will continue our descent to Horombo camp (3720 m).

Horombo - Marangu Gate

Hot breakfast and descent along the route already known to us, through Mandara camp to the exit from Kilimanjaro National Park - Marangu Gate (1860 m). Having descended, the team will gather to congratulate us, after which it will be possible to leave your impressions of the ascent in a general journal. This will be followed by the presentation of memorial certificates and transfer to the hotel in Moshi.

Safari in Tarangire National Park

In the morning, a car will pick us up at the hotel and take us to the gates of Tarangire National Park. The park is famous for its huge baobab trees, the Tarangire River, elephants, giraffes and many other animals. In vehicles specially equipped for safari, we will drive through the expanses of the park, observing and photographing the life of animals in their wild habitat. After lunch in the picnic area we will continue our safari until sunset. In the evening, the car will take us to Karatu, where we will stay at a hotel and have dinner.

Safari in Ngorongoro National Park

Early rise, breakfast. At 6:30 am we leave for the safari. Ngorongoro is a caldera of a frozen volcano, a plain, there are many rhinoceroses, flamingos, a high chance of meeting leopards, a lake with hippos, where we will have a picnic. After a short (about 40 minutes) transfer to the park gate, the first thing we do is take a jeep to the crater observation deck. From here you have a breathtaking view of the entire huge crater. Afterwards we go down to the plain of the crater and spend the whole day until the evening driving around its expanses, watching the animals, which are often very close - literally at arm's length!

Last day

Transfer to the airport... and flight home. Those interested can fly to Zanzibar to spend a few days there in beach activities or passive relaxation.

Unlike, for example, climbing Elbrus, you don’t need special mountain boots and crampons on Kilimanjaro, just good trekking boots.

For safari and travel before/after the climb, you need summer hiking clothes: shorts or light pants, T-shirts, sandals, hats and, of course, sunscreen.
