Kilimanjaro Marangu Route and Camping Safari — Summit Uhuru Peak and Tarangire to Ngorongoro Wildlife Circuit

The group gathers at dawn in Moshi, coffee steaming in paper cups, guides checking radios and porters arranging duffels. The road to Marangu Gate climbs through coffee farms and banana groves, and by the time boots hit the forest path the mountain has already begun to assert itself: mist pooling in hollows, moss clinging to buttress roots, Kilimanjaro’s dome looming above like a weathered ruler. This itinerary pairs a classic five-, six- or seven-day Marangu ascent—depending on pacing and acclimatization choices—with a two-night camping safari through Tarangire and Ngorongoro, turning a summit push into a deep-dive into Tanzania’s highland ecology and savanna wildlife.
