3-Days West Kilimanjaro -
On the tracks of elephants
Moshi - West Kilimanjaro - Moshi
Highlights
Not far from the bustling city of Moshi, you will find an untouched and rarely visited gem for nature lovers: the Sinya Game Reserve.
The seemingly endless savannah between Africa’s highest mountain and the Kenyan border is home to one of Tanzania’s oldest elephant populations. Experience the roaming herds on a game drive and observe the bulls with their impressive tusks. Gerenuk, kudu and oryx antelopes are also indigenous, although they are less frequently seen. In the meantime, wildebeest and zebra have also found their way into the savannah from the neighboring Amboseli National Park.
During a visit to a Maasai boma, you can get to know the way of life of this proud people in an unadorned and authentic way. You will spend the night at Kambi Ya Tembo Camp, with views of Kilimanjaro and the imposing volcanoes Ol Doinyo Longido and Ol Doinyo Orok.
Combine your stay with an ascent of Kilimanjaro or an extented safari.
