Mt Kilimanjaro & Mt Meru - 12 day Itinerary.
Standing proudly just south of the equator is Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain. Mount Kilimanjaro can be climbed from either Kenya or Tanzania and the four to six day hike, which will take you up to the deep equatorial glaciers, will reward you with what is considered to be the finest view in Africa.
Mkomazi Game Reserve is located in North Eastern Tanzania on the Kenyan Border. It was established in 1951 and is found in Kilimanjaro Region and Tanga Region. Mkomazi game reserve is one of the only places in the whole Tanzania to spot the black rhinoceros. The Reserve covers over 3,200 km² and is dominated by Acacia-Commiphora vegetation; it is contiguous with Kenya's Tsavo East National Park. The area commonly called 'Mkomazi' is actually the union of two Game Reserves, the Umba Game Reserve in the east (in Lushoto District, Tanga Region) and the Mkomazi Game Reserve in the West (in Same District, Kilimanjaro Region);
Saadani Game Reserve was gazetted in 1964, covering an area of some 250 sq km from the Wami river in the south to the Mligaji river in the north, with the Moshi railway line as the western boundary. In 2003 Saadani was upgraded to become a National Park. Geographically, Saadani is the closest reserve to Dar es Salaam. The combination of beach and big game is unique in Tanzania.
