safari & zanzibar
An iconic extension trip that includes it all. You will first head on safari and then to the island paradise of Zanzibar. Instead of heading straight home after your trek, why not indulge in this stunning optional extension trip, and relax after your summiting successes on Kilimanjaro?
Taken over two days and one night, the first part of this extension trip will give you a short introduction to the many wonders of two of Tanzania’s famed national parks: Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.
Afterwards, unwind on the beach and relax on sunset cruises on the beautiful Indian Ocean island of Zanzibar.
