In the evening, you may be joined by other G Adventures travellers arriving from Kenya or starting the safari portion of their Tanzania trip. Check for details of the time and location of a welcome meeting, typically around 18:00.
Day 9: Arusha/Mto wa Mbu
Travel to Mto wa Mbu and take part in a cultural walk to learn about life in the area. Meet the women who run the rural town's tours and enjoy a delicious home made traditional lunch.
Spend the afternoon viewing wildlife along the main road that winds through a lush cool forests of Lake Manyara National Park, overgrown with ficus trees and covered with bromeliads.
This area is truly stunning, as the western wall of the Rift Valley escarpment provides a gorgeous backdrop. Search for the phenomenal birdlife, tree-climbing lions, elephants, giraffes, and hippos.
Day 10: Mto wa Mbu/Serengeti National Park
Drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and on to Serengeti National Park. En route marvel at the sheer vastness of this territory, and spot the multitude of animal and birdlife while cruising through this acacia-accented savanna.

Hiking Kilimandjaro with the amazing group and seing all those animals in their habitat is truly one of the best experience of my life!

Trip of a life time for sure! The locals are what made this such an amazing time. I’m thankful for G Adventures to employ and support such wonderful people and businesses.
02/11/2024
Unique, memorable and professional. Throughout both trips i remain impressed by the knowledge and the care shown by our guides, our chefs, our porters which made me feel very safe and supported.
02/07/2024
I really enjoyed hiking part of the tour. However, I recommend G-adventures to be more defined about tips part, especially for the hiking part of the tour. It is stated as "recommended", therefor most people in our group gave very lousy tips at the end
02/05/2024
The Kilimanjaro climb was brilliant and the mountain guides and Porter team made it the experience of a lifetime. I don’t think your rating system really allows a proper expression of how good that team were in making sure we were safe
02/01/2024
Best trip we have ever been on. Great mix of adventure and relaxation. Fully immersed in the culture. Would highly recommend as a bucket list trip.
02/15/2024
Incredible experience. Would recommend to any adventurer!
01/31/2024
Choosing G adventures for my trip was the best decision I've ever made. The service they provided from the pre-trip to the guidance on the mountain, and throughout the safari, was just beyond amazing. Being on the mountain was tough enough
01/28/2024
This was my first trip with G Adventures, and it has been an excellent trip, which I would highly recommend to friends and family. The level of service provided by the G Adventures CEOs, porters, chefs, and all the other team members were excellent.

Great experience which will stay with me for the rest of my life
01/17/2024
G Adventures offered a great experience, I felt safe and comfortable at all times. CEO's keep you informed and up to date with your itinerary daily. I will definitely travel with G Adventures in the future.

Loved every bit of our experience. It exceeded every expectation by leaps and bounds. Can't wait to book another G experience!
01/15/2024
This was our first experience with an escorted tour and we will now anticipate our next G Adventure experience. Our group was 100% successful summitting Mount Kilimanjaro via the Machame route and I do not believe we would have had the same success
01/11/2024
This was an unforgetable experience! I am still buzzing and will be buzzing for a long time. As mentioned earlier, Emil's and Iddy's team were great and they made the experience even better by taking care of all our needs
01/07/2024
Kajeli was super detailed in his pre trek briefing and gave us a good idea of what to expect. Eddy and his team were amazing! All the guides/CEOs went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a positive experience.
01/07/2024
Once again, I just want to take a moment to talk about Iddy, his team and the G Fighters. I have never seen harder working individuals in my life who take so much pride in their work. They anticipated every one of our needs before we even knew we needed
