Travel Information
If you have one week or less...
If you only have one week, we hope it's because you're already in Africa. Traveling from the US to Tanzania in 7 days is possible, but it doesn't give you much time. It takes 2 days just to get there and 2 days back. If you have a week, that leaves you with only 3 days on the ground. Unfortunately, you won't be able to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, which requires 5 days minimum for a summit attempt. However, you do have time for a photo safari and you won't miss out on any of the sights.
If you have two weeks...
In spite of what you may have heard, 2 weeks is plenty of time to enjoy a wonderful African vacation. For the ultimate adventure, you can combine a climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro with a multiple-day safari. The climb is between 5 - 7 days depending on the route you choose. Safaris can be as short as one day, but the ideal is 4 -7 days. Add in a couple of rest days and you have the perfect African adventure.

If you have three weeks...
Now we're talking. Three weeks (or more) is the ideal amount of time to spend in Africa. First, the pace of life is much slower than it is here in the US Second, you are on vacation, so you should enjoy it. Take a couple of extra days to soak in the culture, do some shopping, or just relax. We can provide you with extended safari packages, add a trip to Zanzibar, or just set you up with a few more days in Moshi or Nairobi.
If you have as much time as you want...
You're a lucky, lucky person. If you have a month or six weeks to spend in Tanzania, you might want to do something like:
- climb Mt. Kilimanjaro,
- do a 7 day safari including a hot air balloon ride in the Serengeti,
- spend a week scuba diving and relaxing on the beaches of Zanzibar,
- head down to Selous Game Reserve in Southern Tanzania.
- Visit neighboring Kenya
