7 Days in Tanzania Safari, incl. Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Tanzania's natural wonders unfold over seven days: Lake Manyara's tree-climbing lions, Serengeti's vast plains, and Ngorongoro's diverse wildlife. Springlands Hotel and luxury lodges provide comfort while covering 4 major parks.
- Day 1
Kilimanjaro Airport to Moshi
- Day 2
Lake Manyara National Park
Take an early 3-hour drive to Lake Manyara. Morning is the best time to spot active wildlife including tree-climbing lions and large elephant herds near the lake. You can visit an authentic Maasai village in the afternoon for an extra $50. Bring binoculars to spot the amazing variety of birds along the shore.
- Days 3-4
Serengeti National Park
The 5-6 hour drive to Serengeti is scenic and you can stop at Olduvai Gorge archaeological site. You'll spend two full days on game drives across the vast plains. "Our guide knew exactly where to position us for the best wildlife viewing - we spent an unforgettable hour watching five lionesses with their 20 cubs playing near a rock outcropping."
- Day 5
Ngorongoro Crater
- Day 6
Tarangire National Park
- Day 7
Return to Kilimanjaro
7 Days in Tanzania, incl. Moshi and Mount Kilimanjaro
The trail rises from Machame Gate (1500m) through 5 distinct climate zones. Key landmarks include Lava Tower, Barranco Wall, and iconic glacier views. The 70km route culminates in a challenging summit night pushing 7km to Uhuru Peak (5895m).
- Day 1
Moshi to Machame Camp
Your journey starts with a short 45-minute drive from Moshi (1,400m) to Machame Gate. After registration you'll begin a 7-hour climb through lush rainforest to reach Machame Camp (3,000m). "Our guides were incredible at pacing us, constantly reminding us 'pole pole' (slowly slowly) which was key to acclimatization." The forest trails can get muddy so trekking poles are essential.
- Day 2
Machame Camp to Shira Camp
- Day 3
Shira Camp to Barranco Camp
- Day 4
Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp
- Day 5
Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp

Summit Day - Barafu to Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp
Start at midnight and climb 6-7 hours in the dark and cold (-10°C to -20°C) to reach Stella Point (5,756m) at sunrise. One more hour takes you to Uhuru Peak (5,895m). "The final push was the hardest thing I've ever done, but watching the sunrise from the Roof of Africa made every step worth it." Afterward descend to Mweka Camp (3,100m) for your last night on the mountain.
- Day 7
Mweka Camp to Moshi
7 Days Kilimanjaro Climbing, incl. Marangu Route and Uhuru Peak
The classic Kilimanjaro route spans 7 days: 2 nights at Panama Garden Resort and 4 in mountain huts. The 65km trail crosses 5 ecological zones, from Marangu Gate (1,860m) to Uhuru Peak (5,895m), visiting Mandara, Horombo, and Kibo Huts.
- Day 1
Moshi Arrival and Preparation
Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport and take a 45-minute transfer to Moshi town. Check your equipment and rent any missing gear locally. It's best to arrive at least 24 hours before your climb to acclimatize and organize your gear. Don't skip the pre-climb briefing - it's essential for understanding what lies ahead.
- Day 2
Marangu Gate (1,860m) to Mandara Hut (2,700m)
- Day 3
Mandara Hut to Horombo Hut (3,720m)
Take on a moderate 10km trek through moorland vegetation lasting 5-6 hours. You'll spot your first views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks. For better acclimatization take a short afternoon walk 200m higher before returning to sleep at Horombo. One climber noted: "Lots of carbs, rice, noodles and veggies - the mountain food is actually amazing."
- Day 4
Horombo Hut to Kibo Hut (4,700m)
- Day 5
Summit Day - Kibo Hut to Uhuru Peak (5,895m) to Horombo Hut
Begin around midnight for the challenging summit push. The 16km round trip takes 9-12 hours total. Dress in layers since temperatures can drop below -20°C (-4°F). A previous climber advised: "Bring rain pants! The guides really cared that we made it to the summit and ensured we had everything we needed."
- Day 6
Horombo Hut to Marangu Gate
- Day 7

What people love about 7-day Tanzania tours
- Big Five Classic Safari in Tanzania **Sustainable Approach to Travel
Booking with World Adventure Tours is the simplest process I have come across, compared to booking with other travel companies. My sister and I used the company for our 5 day safari to visit the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. The company made the whole process easy and seamless. We arrived in Tanzania where World Adventure Tours picked us up. The company had arranged for us to stay at Highview Lodge in Karatu before proceeding to the Serengeti the next day. Munsa was an incredible tour guide and driver. His great driving skills played a big role in making the safari an amazing experience. He was able to drive us to remote places where we saw many animals. Munsa was also a wealth of information on the animals, their surroundings, and their life cycles. He told us a lot about the breeding, characteristics, and habits of each animal that we saw. He added an informative aspect to the safari that added to the overall experience. We had a lot of fun with Munsa. It was sad to bid him goodbye when we he dropped us off at the airport on the last day. Thank you Munsa for making our safari the most memorable experience we have ever had
- Kilimanjaro climbing machame route 7 days
beautiful experience, very tiring but the summit repays all efforts. well the guides and porters who brought us up there
- 7 Days Mount Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route
Fantastic Kili trek! Although I have nothing to compare it to, I thought Arnold and the other guides were informed, professional, available for questions, kind and supportive. I was very impressed by them and feel they were an integral part in my ability to reach the summit. I am very grateful to them all. I am extremely satisfied with Steppe Dogs Adventures, I have already recommended you to several people.
