West Kilimanjaro is located in northern Tanzania and is bounded to the east by the majestic Mt Kilimanjaro and to the north by Kenya’s well-known Amboseli National Park.
A major attraction of West Kilimanjaro is its spectacular scenery. It has a commanding presence of Kilimanjaro when it breaks through the clouds, typically around dusk and dawn.
The horizon is studded with many other peaks, like Mount Meru, Longido Mountain, Namanga Mountain, and the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro on rare occasions.
Though West Kilimanjaro is seemingly barren and not having the same animal density as Serengeti or Ngorongoro, it nonetheless promises unforgettable adventures.
The area is a vital wildlife corridor since it houses significant populations of elephants, lesser kudu, bat-eared foxes, gerenuk, and striped hyena. On top of that, the rich birdlife in West Kilimanjaro makes the place excellent for birdwatching.
A visit to West Kilimanjaro is more about the community than wildlife. A short stay will allow you to spend time with the Maasai, providing insight into their unique culture.
You can also take on walking safaris, hike with a Maasai warrior and explore the plains and woodlands.
Bordered by Kenya’s Amboseli National Park and Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, West Kilimanjaro offers a day trip, likely filled with wildlife, from gerenuks, elephants, antelopes, zebras, and various bird species!
During the day trip, you can use bicycles to explore the area or walk around the reserve filled with wildlife.
Among the highlights of the west Kilimanjaro trip are:
