It is possible to trek Kilimanjaro at any time of the year. But we recommend between mid December and March, or between mid June and October, to enjoy the best weather conditions.

April, May and November are the least optimal months to climb Kilimanjaro, as the heat in the lower climate zones can be intense, and there's lots of rainfall.

There are six main Kilimanjaro routes that one can use to trek the mountain. 

If you want the highest chance of summiting, the best route is the Lemosho route and Machame route for 7 or 8 days. 

The major languages spoken in Tanzania include Kiswahili and English, however there are other different languages and dialects spoken by its people.

All who are working in the tourism field can communicate in English, and they are also multi-lingual.

You simply can't beat Tanzania for wildlife concentrations. Most people have heard of the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater and the wide array of wildlife dwelling on the crater floor. Most have heard of the vast Serengeti savannah and Maasai Mara which host the annual migration of wildebeest and the predators that follow in their wake.
This is only the beginning of the natural phenomena awaiting your discovery on a safari to East Africa. Guests of Back 2 Nature Expeditions consistently tell us the wildlife they experienced far surpassed their most optimistic expectations.

East Africa is home to over 35 species of large four-legged mammals and has over 1,000 species of birds listed. On a typical safari in Eastern Africa you can expect to see elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, baboon, monkeys, Chimpanzees and a variety of plains game such as wildebeest, hartebeest, zebra, impala and gazelle.
Most people see lion and hyena, and possibly cheetah or leopard. In Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park you may see one of the few remaining black rhino to be found in East Africa. You'll undoubtedly see several different species of mongoose and some hyrax and other small mammals.
If you're lucky you'll see one or more of the smaller cats, foxes, wild dog or the more restrained antelope like lesser kudu, bushbuck, Oryx or eland.

Every year, over one million wildebeest move through the Serengeti plains in search of food and water. The phenomenon of these animals moving en mass through the African savannah is known as the migration. Their movement is driven by the seasonal rains that water their grazing pastures. It is impossible to predict in advance exactly how or when this progression will take place, but there is a pattern. Generally from mid-December through May the herds are feeding in the southern Serengeti.
During February thousands of calves appear on the plains. Between June and July, the wildebeest begin their annual migration north reaching the Mara River that marks the Kenyan border sometime between the end of July and beginning of August. After the first short rains, usually in the beginning of November, the herds move back into Tanzania's Serengeti and make their way to the southern pastures where they rest and feed through the rains until their search for better grazing leads them to begin their annual migration once again.
Even when the migration moves into Kenya for the summer months, there are many resident herds in the Serengeti and there is always an incredible array of wildlife to experience there. Also, in the summer months, which are the height of the dry season, thousands of elephant congregate around the Tarangire River.
This park is at its prime during these months and we adjust our itineraries to take advantage of the prime wildlife viewing there. Each time of year offers the visitor to Tanzania a special opportunity for wildlife viewing.

We would be delighted to work with you to help you and your family, friends or organization plan the best possible safari to match your interests and budget. We organize custom safaris for professional photographers, honeymoon couples and families.

Located at an altitude of 5,000 to 7,600 feet, East Africa’s dry sunny climate is nothing like the steamy African jungle of Tarzan movies. The weather is spring-like year round, with daytime temperatures in the 70s and 80s, evenings in the 60s. From June until August, temperatures are slightly cooler, ranging from the 50s to the mid-70s. The coastal and lowland areas tend to be more tropical in temperature.

Special dietary requirements such as vegetarian or diabetic meals can easily be arranged with advanced notice. If you are vegetarian or vegan you may wish to bring along some alternative protein sources. If you have multiple food allergies, you'll definitely want to bring along supplementary snacks. It is important we know of any possible dietary restrictions as soon as possible.

It is better to book as far in advance as possible to ensure availability at the time you wish to travel, especially during the peak seasons (July, August and Christmas). This is especially important for those wishing to travel on private custom safaris and those adding extensions to the scheduled trips. We recommend at least 6 months before you plan to start a safari. However, the earlier the better!

Our safari packages include all accommodation and meals while on safari, airport transfers, park fees and services of guides and drivers. It is customary to tip your guide and driver, as well as the cook or camp staff if you are camping during your safari. You will also need to pay for your own beverages and personal items like laundry service and phone calls.
Before you depart, you are responsible for any passport and visa fees. We also recommend you purchase travel protection insurance. And finally, if you know yourself to be a big souvenir shopper you'll need to budget for that!
