Thrilling Adventures Await: Kilimanjaro Trekking and Safari in Shanty Town

Experience the thrill of a lifetime in Shanty Town, Kilimanjaro Region, with a weekend filled with adventure. From conquering the majestic Kilimanjaro to exploring the wild heart of Tanzania on a safari, the weather is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts seeking excitement and breathtaking views.

Conquer the Majestic Kilimanjaro

As the sun peeks through the clouds on the morning of October 26th, the adventure begins with the Kilimanjaro Trek—a 6-day Machame Route adventure that promises to test your limits and reward you with breathtaking views. The journey starts at the Machame Gate, where the lush rainforest welcomes you with its vibrant flora and fauna. The trek to Machame Camp is a steep ascent, but the camaraderie among fellow trekkers and the expertise of professional guides make every step worthwhile.

The second day takes you from Machame Camp to Shira Cave Camp, where the landscape transforms from dense rainforest to the moorland zone. The rocky ridges offer a challenging yet exhilarating climb, and as you reach Shira Camp, the sense of accomplishment is palpable. The trek continues to Lava Tower and Barranco Camp, where the altitude tests your endurance, but the stunning views of the mountain peaks make it all worthwhile.

“Once in a lifetime experience - Climbing mount Kilimanjaro with Macpace Tours and Safaris was truly amazing. Over 6 days, we traversed diverse landscapes, from lush rainforests to barren alpine deserts. The experienced guides ensured our safety and comfort, while the camaraderie among fellow climbers made the ascent even more memorable. Summiting Uhuru Peak at sunrise was a breathtaking moment, worth every step of the grueling climb. A truly unforgettable adventure for those seeking a once-in-a-lifetime experience.” - Reviewed on 2024-06-03

Safari Through the Wild Heart of Tanzania

On October 27th, as the skies clear and the sun warms the earth, it’s time to embark on a thrilling 3-Day Safari through Tarangire, Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater. This group safari is perfect for those eager to witness Tanzania’s rich biodiversity and majestic wildlife. The adventure kicks off at Tarangire National Park, home to the largest concentration of elephants and the iconic baobab trees. The park’s diverse bird species and large mammal population make it a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts.

The journey continues to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a natural wonder that houses the Big Five. The crater’s unique ecosystem offers a rare opportunity to observe lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo in their natural habitat. As you explore the crater, the breathtaking landscapes and the thrill of spotting these magnificent creatures create an unforgettable experience.

“10/10!!! - Everything was organized perfectly by the travel agency. The logistics, the hotel and the safari. Our driver for the safari, Omary, was great. He told us all the facts, was listening 100% to what we wanted to see and made it happen. We saw the best views of the animals and he is a very experienced driver. He’s super joyful and laughs a lot so the car was fun. He made sure we were ok all the time. Great experience!” - Reviewed on 2024-03-11
