Reasons To
Visit Tanzania

  • Beaches

    It is extremely easy to add some beach relaxation in Zanzibar after a tiring safari on the mainland; the beaches are stunning and diving is excellent. You don't have to travel far either as the island is only a 30 minute flight from Dar Es Salaam. Tanzania is therefore the ideal location to combine a safari and beach break.

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    Tanzania has some of Africa's most famous and best national parks and reserves where you are guaranteed fantastic big cat sightings. The Serengeti, Selous and the Crater are just some of the best game viewing areas to visit.

  • Birds

    Tanzania has more than 1,000 species of birds and some spectacular places to view them. Lake Natron is also the only known breeding ground for East Africa's millions of lesser flamingos which cover the lake between August and October.

  • Chimpanzees

    The Mahale Mountains - towering almost 2km above the shore of Lake Tanganyika are home to some of the last remaining wild chimpanzees. There are currently around 900 which are habituated to humans, and tracking them is a magical experience.

  • Great Migration

    One of the highlights of the Serengeti National park is the great annual migration which passes through this amazing wilderness. Up to 1.8 million wildebeest and zebra have been counted doing their annual trip in search of the sweet grasses and the rains.

  • Local Culture

    Tanzania has an evocative mix of people and cultures with 120 ethnic groups making up the diverse population. The largest group are the Sukuma but perhaps the most memorable are the Maasai who you will often see in Northern Tanzania herding their cattle, goats and sheep.

Mountain Dome Tents

Mount Kilimanjaro

Accommodation is in dome mountain tents. Inside, there is a thick and oversized closed cell foam mattress pad to keep the cold off.

These do an excellent job of keeping the cold out, but some people find them a little uncomfortable to sleep on, so if you wish, you can pre-book to hire an inflatable mattress as well.

You will need a sleeping bag. Some people prefer to bring their own, others choose to hire them from the climb company. They provide zero degree rated (F) mummy sleeping bags with a fleece liner. If you need to hire any extras for the climb, just let your specialist know.

The camp crew will consist of a guide, assistant guide, cook and porters. Three hot meals are available every day, as well as plentiful snacks and drinks. Finally, the camps are equipped with two way radios and mobile telephones for constant contact with base camp. The camp crew is very friendly and the atmosphere in camp is friendly and fun.

It is possible to do a superior version of the climb, where you have a few little extras such as a private loo. If this is something that you would be interested in, please do consult with your specialist.
