14-Day Kilimanjaro Climb and Classic Northern Tanzania Safari — Marangu Route to Serengeti & Ngorongoro

The night air on the lower slopes smells of damp earth and eucalyptus; by dawn it gives way to a dry, high-altitude clarity that sharpens every contour. On day two you step from rainforest into giant heather and open moorland, watching Mawenzi’s jagged profile grow larger as the trail climbs. Six days later you stand at Uhuru Peak, wind pinning your down jacket, the sun carving the crater’s rim into hard light. Then, after the descent, the world opens again—baobabs and elephant herds, endless plains where lions move like punctuation marks across the grass.
