Machame and Safari

7 Days Machame and 3 Days Safari

Kilimanjaro and safaris are both popular tourist activities in Tanzania and offer visitors the chance to experience the beauty and diversity of the African wilderness. If you are interested in combining the two, we have  several  tour  packages that include hiking Kilimanjaro and going on a safari in Tanzania’s national parks.

Day 1: Machame Gate (1790m) – Machame Camp (3010m)

The Kilimanjaro National Park gate is only a 1 hour drive from Panama Gardern Resort. You will be picked up after breakfast and make your way there for the start of your climb. Once you have arrived your guide will get started with the formalities (entrance forms) while you observe all the different teams and mountain crew getting ready for their expedition. It’s always a fascinating experience for clients to watch them load all the different items for the trip. As soon as everything is prepared your adventure will begin. The destination for today will be the Machame Camp which you should reach in about 5 – 6 hours. On route you will experience a wonderful rainforest with ancient trees, primeval ferns, liana & lichen to mention but a few. Another favourite to look out for on this day is the black and white thumbless colobus monkeys. Once you arrive at your campsite for the night you have time to relax before enjoying a well deserve dinner prepared by our own cook.
