Located at the Moshi region of North Tanzania, on this program you’ll be literally based at the bottom of Kilimanjaro. The project has a strong wildlife and community focus and is one of the best places in the world to savor both these elements. A quarter of all the wildlife in Africa is in Tanzania, and you’ll be trekking our most favorite Real Gap Safari during this expedition. If you’re really feeling adventurous, then on the third expedition week you can climb up Mount Kilimanjaro or Mount Meru. At the end of the trip there’ll be ten exotic days on Zanzibar Island.
