A&K & Kilimanjaro
There is no mistaking its beauty. At 19,325 feet, Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. "Breathtaking" hardly begins to describe the scene from cloud-cloaked Uhuru Peak. But the summit is merely a highlight of a richly rewarding journey. As you ascend its slopes, elephant may appear in lush montane forest, and you may sight endangered Abbot's duiker. From its beautiful alpine desert to its icy summit, its crater lake to its moorland dotted with surreal, oversized lobelia, the mountain's wonders do not cease.
A&K's Mount Kilimanjaro expeditions are planned to the last detail by mountaineering experts, who take into consideration every factor that contributes to a successful climb.
Wake to the call of stirring birds in the Ngorongoro Crater, or perhaps to the first rays of sun clearing Mount Kilimanjaro. These are the timeless sights and sounds of the Serengeti, and on the Tanzania safari, they signal the start of each thrilling day. An A&K Tanzania safari features the continent’s finest guides, who expertly reveal your destination’s countless wonders. Whether you witness an endangered black rhino quietly grazing or thousands of wildebeest and zebra thundering through plains during the Great Migration, A&K takes you to the core of the action during the Tanzania safari.
With A&K, scale Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, while experiencing the extraordinary biodiversity along its most scenic route. Tanzania brims with safari park options, including the vast Serengeti National Park, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater and the wildlife-rich Tarangire National Park. A&K’s diverse Tanzania safari programs also introduce you to the many cultures in the region, from the Hadzabe people, the last bushmen in Africa, to the proud Maasai. Several A&K journeys exceed the typical Tanzania safari by including visits to Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy projects. After each day of eye-opening adventures, rest in Africa’s best lodges or, on certain A&K Tanzania safaris, retire to a luxurious A&K Mobile Tented Camp.
- Serengeti
- This vast plain is witness to one of nature's great spectacles: the Great Migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra and other grazing animals seeking fresh grass — followed closely by Africa's largest concentration of lion. Whether you're a first-time Africa visitor or a seasoned safari-goer, the Great Migration is not to be missed.
- Lake Manyara
- This shallow alkaline lake is best known for the millions of flamingo that call it home. The lake and its surrounding regions also shelter hippo, baboon, impala and a variety of other bird species.
- Tarangire
- Baobab-dotted Tarangire is one of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in all of Africa, with an equally impressive population of wildlife, including elephant, zebra, wildebeest and giraffe — along with lion, which are known to occasionally climb trees for relief from the day's heat.
- Ngorongoro Crater
- This ancient crater is a sheltered haven for wildlife, harboring nearly all of East Africa's iconic species. In addition to first-rate game viewing, the crater offers close proximity to Olduvai Gorge, the "Cradle of Humanity," where many pre-human fossil remains were discovered.
