Summit Kilimanjaro by the Machame route, drop straight into the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, then recover for five nights on Zanzibar. The whole of Tanzania in one trip.
Climbers reach Uhuru Peak, come down, and then spend three days working out how to get to a safari and a beach. This puts the three together and books them as one thing.
Seven days on the Machame route — the 'Whiskey' route, harder than Marangu and with a far better acclimatisation profile — then four days in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater while your legs recover in a vehicle, and five nights on Zanzibar to finish. If you are going to fly this far once, this is the shape of trip that justifies it.
Airport pick-up, the drive to Arusha and a full gear check with your lead guide.
Into the rainforest belt from Machame Gate — humid, dripping and loud with colobus monkeys.
Out of the forest and onto the Shira Plateau, with the first clear view of Kibo.
The classic climb-high-sleep-low day: up to Lava Tower at 4,630 m for lunch, then down into the Barranco valley.
The Barranco Wall first thing — a scramble, not a climb — then a short day to Karanga.
A short, deliberate day to the summit camp. Early dinner and sleep before a midnight start.
Away around midnight for Stella Point at sunrise and Uhuru Peak shortly after, then the long descent to Mweka.
Down through the forest to the gate, certificates, and a hotel with a shower and a bed.
A gentle first safari day among Tarangire's baobabs and elephants.
North-west across the Ngorongoro highlands into the Serengeti, game viewing as we go.
A full day in Seronera, the park's year-round core and its best leopard country.
Back east and up onto the rim, arriving for sunset over the caldera.
An early descent onto the crater floor, then Arusha and the evening flight to the island.
Stone Town on foot, a spice farm on the way out, and the north coast by mid-afternoon.
Nothing scheduled. Snorkelling, a dhow, or the flattest day you have had in two weeks.
Breakfast and the transfer to the airport.
This climb needs proper mountain kit — a four-season sleeping bag, a waterproof shell and boots you have already broken in. Our full list covers all 37 items, the reason each one is on it, and the gear you should not buy because it is already included in your price.
Porters carry a maximum of 10kg of your personal gear — a park rule we do not bend.
