Accommodation
Kilimanjaro Climbing: Two nights’ Accommodation in Moshi – at Panama Garden Resort or Park View Inn, one night prior to the climb and one night after the climb (including bed and breakfast). Safari: The Safari package offers two safari choices to suit both schedule and style: Mid-range and Standard. The accommodations for these safaris are a mix of tented lodges and standard lodges. Tented camps are permanent or semi-permanent camps sited in areas of excellent game viewing. These rooms are covered in a canvas tent and include a bed and a bathroom. Tented Lodge Categorized into budget, mid-range, and luxury, tented camps are unique accommodation types that use canvas tents rather than concrete walls. This accommodation style is what people call nowadays as “glamping” or glamorous camping. You get to stay in full-sized tented camps often with modern facilities, and the best part of it is, these tented camps are strategically located in some of the best parts of the park. There are two kinds of tented camps: permanent and mobile Permanent tented Lodge are those that are permanently stationed in their locations. They are more like safari lodges only they have canvas walls instead of concrete. This accommodation type is what most people deem “the ultimate safari experience” as visitors get to experience the magic of life in the wild while still enjoying the luxuries of conventional hotel accommodations — ensuite bath, veranda, proper furniture, superior quality linens, tea and coffee, and sometimes even an own private lounge and outdoor bathtub! Mobile tented Lodge, on the other hand, are seasonal glamping camps that are only set during certain months, often to keep up with the movement of the iconic wildebeest migration. So if your main goal is to get side-court seats to “the greatest show on earth”, mobile tented camps would be most ideal. After all, this accommodation type guarantees that you will be right in the heart of the action. It is truly amazing that Serengeti, arguably the world’s best safari park, offers a plethora of decadent accommodations. And with an area spanning 14,750 square kilometers, with only a limited number of facilities, the exclusivity, and feeling of being in the wild remains. Lodge Lodges and tented camps are often interchanged as both facilities offer budget, mid-range, and ultra-luxury experiences. The main thing you need to remember, though, is this: lodges have solid walls. Like a hotel or an inn, lodges are permanent buildings with concrete walls. Guests usually get to enjoy their own private space with their own ensuite bath, toilet and other basic facilities you can find in hotels. Typically, the differences between budget, mid-range, and luxury include the size of the room, level of luxury and service the guest/s can experience the view from the room and sometimes, the location as well. Lodges are also often located slightly further from the high-density wildlife of the Seronera. However, most of these lodges can arrange expert-guided game drives that take guests to the best game viewing spots. If you’re looking for solid buildings and added comforts like spas and swimming pools, Serengeti lodges would be perfect for you.

Optional
Acclimatization On Kilimanjaro: In short, to acclimatize to the altitudes of Kilimanjaro means to develop certain physiological adaptations of your body to survive in the decompressed environment with abnormally low levels of oxygen. Such adaptation is the most important issue in mountaineering, and it is directly impacted by your fitness, good equipment, adequate supplies and professional crew. Essentially, all these arrangements are made to simplify the process of adaptation to the abnormal altitudes. The Following are Recommended To Achieving Acclimatization: •Pre-acclimatize prior to your trip by using a high-altitude training system. •Ascend Slowly. Your guides will tell you, "Pole, pole" (slowly, slowly) throughout your climb. Because it takes time to acclimatize, your ascension should be slow. Taking rest days will help. Taking a day increases your chances of getting to the top by up to 30% and increases your chances of actually getting some enjoyment out of the experience by much more than that. •Do not overexert yourself. Mild exercise may help altitude acclimatization, but strenuous activity may promote HAPE. •Take slow deliberate deep breaths. •Climb high, sleep low. Climb to a higher altitude during the day, then sleep at a lower altitude at night. Most routes comply with this principle and additional acclimatization hikes can be incorporated into your itinerary. •Eat enough food and drink enough water while on your climb. It is recommended that you drink from four to five liters of fluid per day. Also, eat a high calorie diet while at altitude, even if your appetite is diminished. •Use FDA approved drug Diamox for prevention and treatment of AMS. •Diamox should not be taken in by those who have debate or are sulfur-allergic. At the same time, if you have one of these conditions, this is not a reason to abandon your dream adventure. Consider taking our 8-day programs to give your body more time for natural acclimatization, and make sure to inform our wildlife adventure experts, who will take care of the necessary arrangements. •Avoid tobacco, alcohol and other depressant drugs including, barbiturates, tranquillizers, sleeping pills and opiates. These further decrease the respiratory drive during sleep resulting in a worsening of altitude sickness.

Sure, seeing the animals of the Big Five is undoubtedly the motivating factor for many visitors, but there is a wealth of options available to visitors who want something a little different. •Hot air balloon and champagne breakfast While morning and evening game drives offer fantastic game-viewing opportunities for visitors to the Serengeti, taking to the skies for a dawn hot air balloon safari is an unforgettable way to see the park. After a visually spectacular tour over the savannah, you’ll alight in the wilderness for a delicious champagne breakfast. •Walking Safari Without predators such as leopards and lions, Arusha National Park is an excellent place for walking safaris. Guided by a local ranger, visitors can take a leisurely stroll through the park to a picturesque waterfall. Along the way you can expect to see animals such as black and white colobus monkeys, giraffes, baboons, and more. •Masai Boma Visit The iconic Masai are omnipresent in and around the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and a visit to one of their traditional villages is a thrilling cultural excursion. In addition to a tour of a working Masai village, visitors can also expect demonstrations of traditional dance and the opportunity to purchase authentic, locally made jewelry. •Masai Market Tour Available only on Thursdays or on the 22nd of each month, a visit to an active and bustling Masai market is a truly amazing cultural experience. Visitors will have the chance to browse the market, marvel at the many people who come to sell their wares, and try some traditional Masai BBQ. •Village Walk Get an inside look at the homes and exquisite craft of Mto wa Mbu’s many tribes. Visitors will get a chance to meet locals and learn about banana beer, Makonde woodcarvings, and the tribal painting techniques; the village provides a great introduction to everyday life in Africa. •Mount Meru Arusha sits at the foot of Mount Meru, the confident and handsome brother to often shy Kilimanjaro. If climbing Kilimanjaro is your goal, Mount Meru is often recommended as a good training hike – and offers an amazing view of both the city and Kilimanjaro to those who make it to the top. •Marangu Village Tour The nearby village of Marangu offers a variety of cultural activities for those wanting to see something beyond the usual tourist attractions. Organic coffee plantations, banana beer breweries, ancient Chaga caves, and serene waterfalls are all on offer for those visiting this village in the Kilimanjaro foothills.
