Around Kilimanjaro – 10-Day Safari, Nature & Culture Tour
A Unique Journey Around Africa’s Tallest Mountain – Without Climbing It
Experience two countries, three national parks, and one iconic mountain on this unforgettable 10-day cultural safari around Kilimanjaro. Begin in Kenya, where you’ll enjoy game drives in Amboseli, Tsavo East, and Tsavo West, each offering different terrain and wildlife — all with panoramic views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Then cross into Tanzania for a one-of-a-kind stay at the Osiligilai Maasai Lodge, where you’ll be welcomed by song, spear-throwing, and sunsets beside The White Mountain. For travellers who love safari, scenery, and authentic culture — but not mountain trekking — this is your dream itinerary.
