Every day of our itinerary has been meticulously crafted to ensure you have an unforgettable experience. From discovering iconic landmarks to savoring delectable local dishes, each day promises adventure and thrill. Come along with us as we guide you through a journey across some of the most captivating destinations on the planet.

Day 1 Arusha/Moshi to Tarangire National Park

Pick up at 8:30 AM from your hotel in Arusha/Moshi and depart for Tarangire National Park with picnic lunch for full day game drive. Tanzania’s third largest National park is known for its majestic baobab trees that dot the landscape, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. The Tarangire River is the centerpiece of this park which is famous for some of the largest herds of elephants in Africa. Here you may see lion, leopard, cheetah, lesser kudu, buffalo, Oryx, eland, giraffe and zebra. Post the game drive, you will head back to your camp/lodge where a delicious dinner awaits you.

Day 2 Tarangire to Serengeti National Park

After finishing up a good breakfast, you will head out towards the Serengeti National Park and travel in the midst of the never ending plain grasslands. The Serengeti is arguably the most impressive wildlife sanctuary in the world. You will have an afternoon game drive in the endless plains of the Serengeti for a chance to see the great herds of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles or a pride of lions lounging in the shade. A picnic lunch will be done during the day long game drive itself. The eventful day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation.

Day 3 Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

After breakfast, you will have a morning game drive in Serengeti National Park. Later depart for Ngorongoro Crater Rim with picnic lunch. Ngorongoro Crater is the largest collapsed volcanic crater in the world and fourteen kilometers of isolated natural beauty. Ngorongoro Crater is surrounded by a ring of extinct volcanoes and the floor, dotted with watering holes, shelters some 30,000 animals. The eventful day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation.

Day 4 Crater tour (5 hours game drive) and to Arusha/Moshi

On the last day of your safari, you will have an early start. Finishing up with a quick breakfast you will make an early descend at around 6:30 AM into the crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. It has a massive floor of about 260 sq kms with a depth of over 2000 feet. The 5-hour game drive in the crater floor, will show you a lot of animal action. Keeping the camera ready is definitely recommended. The African elephant, buffalo, Black rhino, Hippos, Hyenas, Cheetahs and Lions are found in plenty. Post the picnic lunch at the beautiful Hippo pool, you will begin a steep ascend to the top exit of the crater. This is the last leg of your safari, with a 4hr drive left to Arusha. You will be dropped off to your preferred location in Arusha by 6:00 PM in the evening. With an incredible experience and loads of memories to cherish, this is the time you bid goodbye to your team.

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Climb Lemosho route with Golden Bamboo Tours I had an amazing experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route in October with Golden Bamboo Tours. From the start, the planning and arrangements for the trip were seamless. We stayed at a comfortable 3-star hotel in Moshi Town, where the team made sure everything was in place for the climb. On the arrival day, the guides meticulously checked all our trekking and camping gear to ensure everything was ready, followed by a detailed briefing about the Lemosho route.Once on the mountain, the team’s support was outstanding. Their singing and dancing kept us motivated and energized throughout the journey. Our chef, Joseph, prepared delicious meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—providing us with the energy we needed each day.Our guides, Deo, Ibrahim, and Jackson, were exceptional. They led us at a steady "polepole" (slowly, slowly) pace, offering valuable insights about the Lemosho route and the mountain. Their expertise and encouragement made a huge difference in helping us achieve our goal.A big thank you to the entire team for their unwavering support, and a special mention to Mr. Lyimo for the excellent trip preparation and organization from our arrival in Tanzania to our departure.I highly recommend Golden Bamboo Tours to anyone planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro—it was truly an unforgettable experience!

THE BEST TOUR AGENCY FOR KILIMANJARO TREKKING AND WILDLIFE SAFARIES This was the first time I had travelled with Mr Lyimo . The company specialises in expert-led cultural and wildlife tours in Tanzania East Africa. Group numbers are small, accommodation at the hotel in Moshi Kilimajaro was comfortable and food excellent. The expert mountain and safari guide who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging and entertaining. The itinerary for 6 days Climbing Kilimanjaro and 5 Days wildlife safari was very well thought out, combining leisure time with activity and not-to-be-missed opportunities to swim in the Kikuletwa Hot springs ( Maji Moto) . The client is obviously at the heart of the itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational holiday with fine food - they will deliver!Thanks Mr Lyimo for your good arrangement.
