Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar Package

What to expect on a Kilimanjaro climb?

Embarking on a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro is an unforgettable challenge that will stay with you forever. We understand the effort it takes to achieve this goal, so we are here to help make your dream a reality.

Kilimanjaro is an excellent choice if you’re seeking a mountain climb that doesn’t require technical mountain experience. It is still a challenge, taking six to nine days to complete.

However, you can reach the summit if you have the determination and fitness to trek for five to seven hours per day and undertake the twelve to fourteen-hour trek on the day of the summit ascent.

You will not trek alone. Our experienced mountain teams will support you every step of the way on the Marangu, Rongai, Machame, and Lemosho routes.

For additional information, our trekking Mount Kilimanjaro guide can be helpful. If you book a trek with us, we will provide you with multiple information guides to assist in your planning.

To increase your chance of reaching the summit, you can add an acclimatisation day to your itinerary, which allows your body to adjust to altitude and reduces the risk of altitude sickness.

Our country experts can help you plan your adventure, whether you prefer a customised private trek or a group trek at a reduced cost.

What to expect on a Zanzibar beach holiday?

As you will discover, Zanzibar is a perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul. However, you may be wondering how far Kilimanjaro is from Zanzibar?

Getting from Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar could not be easier with Tanzania-Experience.

We will ensure a seamless transfer from the mountain to the nearest Airport, where you will take an aproximately one-hour flight to Zanzibar. When you touch down, our team will be waiting to welcome you to Zanzibar and take you to your accommodation.

If you have time, we recommend spending a night in Stone Town to explore the city’s rich cultural and historical heritage. On your way to your beachside retreat, enjoy a half-day spice tour that will activate all of your senses.

Upon arriving at your beach resort, you will receive a warm welcome and Zanzibar hospitality. You will also have the chance to taste a variety of delicious local produce, fresh seafood, and many cultural dishes.

Relax by a pool or on a beautiful tropical beach. If you still feel energetic, Zanzibar, with its warm water and excellent visibility, is a great destination for scuba diving and snorkelling.

How can I combine a Kilimanjaro climb and a Zanzibar beach package?

A Kilimanjaro climb and a Zanzibar package are unforgettable experiences.

As trekking Mount Kilimanjaro is no easy feat, most guests choose to climb the mountain first, followed by a relaxing beach retreat.

For those who love nature, trekking up Mount Meru is a lesser-known but equally exciting adventure, with abundant wildlife on the lower forest slopes.

Alternatively, you can enjoy a Kilimanjaro climb and safari package.

Having our own dedicated mountain teams makes organising your Kilimanjaro climb a breeze. If you choose to visit Zanzibar, we will arrange a seamless transition from the mountain to the beach.

You’ll have many options when choosing where to relax, including beautiful yet lesser-known mainland beaches or various beach resorts on Unguja (Zanzibar), Pemba or Mafia islands. You can select from several options on our website, or a travel expert will gladly help you choose.

Finally, our office is at your disposal if you need to store equipment, such as a sleeping bag or diving equipment. Additionally, we offer various rental items, like sleeping bags, so you don’t have to travel with heavy luggage.

Kilimanjaro climb and Zanzibar – best time to visit

A Kilimanjaro climb and Zanzibara beach holiday package offers both adventure and relaxation. The best time to travel is during the dry season, from January to mid-March and June to October.

For the Kilimanjaro climb, these months are ideal, as the weather is stable with little rain and clear visibility. January and February offer warmer temperatures, while July to October is cooler but dry.

These months are also perfect for a beach holiday in Zanzibar. From June to October, temperatures are pleasant (22-29°C) with little rainfall. January to March is also sunny but hotter, with temperatures usually exceeding 30°C.

The long rainy season from March to May should be avoided, as the Kilimanjaro trails can become slippery, and Zanzibar experiences it’s wettest months of the year.
