Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is no small feat—reaching the summit of Africa’s tallest peak is a life-changing accomplishment. But your adventure doesn’t have to end at Uhuru Peak. Tanzania is bursting with extraordinary landscapes, vibrant cultures, and thrilling wildlife experiences just waiting to be explored.

Whether you’re looking to relax, explore, or dive into another unforgettable journey, here’s our expert guide to the best things to do after your Kilimanjaro climb.

Go on a Classic Tanzanian Safari

Tanzania is one of the top safari destinations in the world, and there’s no better way to reward yourself after the mountain than with a front-row seat to the wild.

Serengeti National Park

Home to the legendary Great Migration, the Serengeti is a world-famous safari destination teeming with wildlife—lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, cheetahs, and more. Watch massive herds of wildebeest and zebra cross the plains, and witness nature’s greatest drama unfold before your eyes.

The Great Wildebeest Migration

This awe-inspiring natural event sees over 1.7 million wildebeest, 260,000 zebras, and hundreds of thousands of gazelles migrate across Tanzania and into Kenya in search of greener pastures. Our specialized tours follow the movement to give you a front-row experience of this spectacular event.

Tarangire National Park

Known for its ancient baobab trees and large elephant herds, Tarangire is just two hours from Arusha and ideal for short post-climb safaris. During the dry season (June–September), wildlife concentrations rival those of the Serengeti.

Ngorongoro Crater

Descend into one of the world’s largest unbroken calderas. The Ngorongoro Crater offers some of the most reliable wildlife viewing in Africa—spot the Big Five, flamingos, and rare black rhinos in a breathtaking setting.
