6 Day Kilimanjaro and Cultural Safari
The 6 Day Kilimanjaro and Cultural Safari combines a Mount Kilimanjaro day experience, locally guided cultural activities and northern Tanzania wildlife game viewing in one private journey.
The itinerary provides an opportunity to experience the mountain environment without completing a full summit expedition, followed by Chagga coffee culture, farming and village life around the Kilimanjaro region.
The journey then continues toward Mto wa Mbu and a participating Maasai community before dedicated wildlife game drives in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.
This standard 6 day itinerary does not include climbing Kilimanjaro to Uhuru Peak. Travellers planning a full summit climb can combine a separate multi day Kilimanjaro trek with the cultural and wildlife safari.

Why Choose a 6 Day Kilimanjaro and Cultural Safari?
This 6 day itinerary is designed for travellers who want to experience several sides of northern Tanzania rather than choosing only a mountain activity or only a wildlife safari.
The journey begins around Mount Kilimanjaro, providing time for a permitted day hike or mountain nature experience followed by locally guided Chagga cultural activities.
Mto wa Mbu and a participating Maasai community add two different perspectives on contemporary community life, agriculture, food, pastoral livelihoods and livestock.

The itinerary can also begin from Arusha with private transportation toward the Kilimanjaro region.
