1 The marathon route leaves Moshi stadium and heads down towards the town, and then along the main road to Dar es Salaam for approximately 8-9 km. This section of the route is relatively flat, and there are plenty of spectators and well-wishers along the road. We turn around and head back to the town of Moshi, turning toward the mountain and heading up a long, steady ascent towards Mweka. The uphill climb is gradual, but with Kilimanjaro towering above and all the local villagers out to cheer you on, the time passes quickly. The route then turns west through a lovely forest area before turning south for a fast downhill run back toward the stadium. Regular water tables as well as sponging points and the odd shower keep the runners refreshed and cool along the entire route. The route passes through many smallholding farms, villages, banana and coffee plantations and patches of forest, providing great excitement to the residents who give ample vocal support. For those running the half marathon, the route also starts at the Moshi stadium and after a short, flat section, it follows the gradual uphill route to Mweka as per the full marathon before turning towards the stadium again. The atmosphere in the stadium is electric with local bands playing, entertainment, crowds of local enthusiasts to cheer the runners, and lots of food and drink for sale. There will also be a 5 km fun run. Come to Tanzania and take part in the 2017 Kilimanjaro Premium Lager Marathon (or 21.1 km or 5 km fun run).

Day 5 Tuesday 28 February 2017 Day 4 Monday 27 February day/5 night Machame Route hike up Mt Kilimanjaro. The Machame route is one of the most scenic routes up Mt Kilimanjaro by which to ascend. Nights are spent in highquality 3-man alpine tents sleeping a maximum of two persons per tent (so there is space for your luggage too). All your supplies and camping equipment are portered up for you (tents, mm compressed foam sleeping mats, awnings, stools, lights, etc), and your meals are prepared. Your personal baggage limit is 12 kg for the climb. South African tents and sleeping mats are supplied on this trip. The guides employed are excellent (some have climbed Kilimanjaro over 400 times)! Each trip is led by a senior guide, with other guides in a ratio of approximately one guide per 2 or 3 climbers - if you are a bit slower than the rest or get ill and have to descend, a guide will always be with you. Food served on the mountain is generally plain and wholesome, including a lot of carbohydrates, stews and soups, vegetables and fresh fruit. Vegetarians are catered for, but please notify us in advance.

The vegetation changes to increasingly sparse trees and bushes into moorland. There are generally plenty of Proteas and Erica flowers en-route as you gain height along the path. Views of Kibo and Uhuru peak with it s snow-capped summit becomes a regular sight as you near Shira Camp. The camp itself is one of the most scenic as it allows views towards the west with Mt Meru in the distance and offer views of Kibo (the top of Mt Kilimanjaro). You often see the most spectacular sunsets from Shira with the clouds below you and the higher mountain peaks peeking through to catch the last bit of sunshine. Just a short hike from the camp is the Shira Caves. This makes a very nice acclimatisation walk before you enjoy a sumptuous dinner and good night s rest. Day 6 Wednesday 01 March 2017 New Shira Camp (3,840 m/12,600 ft) - Lava Tower (4,630 m/15,190 ft) - Barranco Camp (3,950 m/12,960 ft) FB Walking distance: 15 km/9.3 miles Walking time: 7-9 hours Altitude gain: 10 m/360 ft (680 m/2,230 ft to Lava Tower) Today you hike up to 4,630 m (15,190 ft) while crossing a ridge and view the plains far below. Hiking through the alpine desert with boulders scattered around and dust hugging the rocks gives the illusion that you are walking on the moon. At Lava Tower, a big rocky outcrop, you have views of the ancient glacier ice of the Breach

4 The path passes the "Garden of the Senecios", which features many of the huge senecio plants as well as lobelia plants. Sunset and sunrise at this camp is breath-taking. The sun paints the rocks in front of camp a dreamy red-yellow colour with the white ice of the high peaks shining bright. Looking towards the south you may see the little town of Moshi far below. You often sleep above the clouds at Barranco Camp. Day 7 Thursday 02 March 2017 Barranco Camp (3,950 m/12,960 ft) - Barafu Camp (4,550 m/14,930 ft) FB Walking distance: 9.3 km/5.7 miles Walking time: 8 hours Altitude gain: 55 m/185 ft After breakfast you cross the Great Barranco Wall, topping out at about m before dropping to the camp at the Karanga River at about 4040 m. The hike up the Barranco Wall is steep. You pass below the famous Breach Wall, the largest ice and rock face in Africa. The Breach Wall climbing route, known as The Icicle, was first climbed in the early 1970 s by Reinhold Messner. A field of sedimentary rocks litter the ground. You leave Karanga and hit the junction which connects with the Mweka Trail. Continue up to the Barafu Camp. At this point, you have completed the South Circuit, which offers views of the summit from many different angles. Amazing views of Kilimanjaro s two peaks, Mawenzi and Kibo, are to be seen from Barafu Camp. An early dinner will be served in order for you to get the maximum rest before the final ascent starting at around midnight. Daytime temperatures can reach up to 26C, while evening temperatures often drop below freezing. Day 8 Friday 03 March 2017 Barafu Camp (4,550 m/14,930 ft) - Summit via Stella Point (5,752 m/18,871 ft) to Uhuru Peak (5,895 m/19,340 ft) and descent to Millennium Camp (3,820 m/12,530 ft) or to Mweka Camp (3,100 m/10,170 ft) FB Walking distance: 7 km/4.3 miles ascent + 23 km/14.2 miles descent Walking time: 5-6 hrs hours up, 7-8 hours down (the overall walking time may vary between hours) Altitude gain: 1,202 m/3,940 ft (Stella Point) or 1,345 m/4,410 ft (Uhuru Peak) Descent: 2,795 m/9,170 ft Mweka Camp Wake up very early to have a quick bite to eat and something warm to drink before setting out in darkness. The hike to Stella Point is a very slow steep walk on volcanic scree for about 5-6 hours. The headlamps on the trail towards the summit almost look like fireflies flying in a long row. As you approach the crater rim you will enjoy the most memorable sunrise you may ever experience the sunrise over Africa! Often you see the curving of the earth at this high altitude and the sunrise on the horizon just accentuates it. Keep your camera ready at all times as there are plenty of photo opportunities along the summit. Once you reach Stella Point on top of the crater rim Uhuru Peak is in sight. Hike along fairly flat terrain for about min to reach Uhuru Peak. Spend a few minutes at the top and get that photo of you next to the sign marking the summit - definitely one for your collection. Descend from Uhuru Peak in high spirits as you have just achieved your goal. The trail down from Stella Point on the Mweka route is often enjoyed by hikers sliding down the scree slope, which entails skidding down the loose gravel with big steps and some sideways moves. Try it, it is fun! With every step going down your body enjoys having more oxygen to breathe in. Depending on how you feel, you may enjoy a short rest at Barafu Camp before descending down to Millennium Camp or Mweka Camp. Most of our expeditions overnight at Mweka Camp this evening.

The path has many steps leading you down to Mweka Gate where you may find a cold beer or soft-drink to start celebrating your assault of Kilimanjaro. You will be transferred back to Moshi, Keys Hotel, to overnight and celebrate (breakfast included).

8 D. Kilimanjaro Marathon and Serengeti Safari 10 days Imagine finding yourself under the vast African sky in the middle of one of the last expanses of true wilderness left on our planet, possibly listening to the haunting and mysterious sounds of night predators and their prey as the drama of their interactions unfold. This safari will allow you ample time to visit the famous wildlife areas of Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. These parks are world famous icons, and offer probably the best game viewing in Africa. Our safari is run at a leisurely pace, ensuring plenty of time to explore the different regions and particularly the Serengeti, where three nights are spent at our intimate tented camp. Itinerary: Day 1-3 Per Kilimanjaro Marathon only package Day 4 Monday 27 February 2017 At 08h00 am you will be collected at Keys Hotel by your Wild Frontiers safari guide for your 5 night/6 day safari. Drive to Arusha. Quick stop to stock up on your favourite drinks and snacks at the shops before continuing to Lake Manyara. We arrive with a picnic lunch, in order to spend quality time in Manyara National park. Game drive inside Lake Manyara National park. Lake Manyara is a shallow, alkaline lake at the base of a sheer stretch of the western Rift Valley escarpment. The north-western area of this lake is protected in a 330 sq km national park, which contains a remarkable diversity of terrestrial habitats: the grassy floodplain of the lakeshore, the rocky base of the escarpment, a belt of thick acacia woodland and a lush patch of groundwater forest just inside the northern entrance gate. An interesting bio-diversity of fauna and flora can be observed here and a variety of large mammal species including elephant, buffalo, wildebeest, giraffe and lion. Perhaps, however, the most immediately visible residents are the troupes of olive baboon, sometimes found in the company of the smaller and rather beautiful blue monkey. This is also a wonderful location for viewing groups of elephants and for keen birders. Manyara has recorded almost 400 species due to the wide habitat diversity. From Manyara, we head up to Ngorongoro to overnight at Bougainvillea Lodge, or similar. All meals included. Day 5 Tuesday 28 February 2017 Today we head into Ngorongoro Conservation area, and after driving steadily down the steep 610 metre sides of the crater, we enjoy spectacular game viewing in the crater which is almost guaranteed to turn up four of the Big Five, as well as a rich variety of birds, all viewed against the backdrop of the thickly forested crater walls. Picnic lunch in the crater. Ngorongoro Crater is one of the natural wonders of the world. A large volcanic caldera, with an area of 259 square kilometres, it contains a huge variety of game and birds and is often referred to as a microcosm of Africa with its dramatic weather changes and varied terrains consisting of forest, grasslands and both freshwater and soda lakes. Overnight at Bougainvillea Lodge or similar. All meals included. Day 6 Wednesday 01 March 2017 Depart the Ngorongoro region, en route to the Serengeti, with picnic lunch, we stop off at Olduvai Gorge for a short visit and an insight into history of the region. It is at Olduvai Gorge where, in 1959, Mary Leakey made her ground-breaking discovery of a hominid (human-like) skull dating back 1.8 million years. Since then other hominid species, possibly our early ancestors, have been found in the area dating as far back as 3.7 million years. The whole area is often referred to as the cradle of mankind. There is also time to visit a Masai village before continuing to the Serengeti Wilderness Camp, to settle in for the evening. All meals included. Day 7 & 8 Thursday & Friday 02 & 03 March 2017 Two more full days in the Serengeti, with time to do some game drives as well as visit the education centre which provides some interesting information on this vast park. The Serengeti is unequalled for its beauty and contains more than three million large mammals spread over the vast endless plains. It is here, at certain times of the year, that we may encounter the breathtaking spectacle of the annual wildebeest migration, where one and a quarter million wildebeest trek in columns of up to forty kilometres long in search of grazing, drawing with them their predators and numerous other species of game. From January to March the herds can largely be found in the southern area, proceeding north through the centre and Western Corridor during June and July before entering Kenya s Masai Mara. They return south in November to repeat this amazing instinctive procession all over again.

9 Africa s most famous national park covers an area of almost sq km and is world-renowned for its dense predator population and the annual wildebeest migration. The park is part of the much large Serengeti eco-system, which includes Kenya s Masai Mara Game Reserve, and encompasses more than double this area. The greater part of the park is open grassland, patches of acacia woodland and isolated areas of granite rock outcrops called koppies. Animal migration is linked to the annual rainfall patterns and its effect on their feeding habitats. Formerly the home of the Maasai tribe who displaced the Datoga pastoralists in the 17 th century, the name Serengeti is derived from the Maasai word serengit, meaning endless plain. The national park was created by the Tanzania Government in 1951 and became famous through the work of Professor Bernard Grzimek (in particular his book Serengeti Shall Not Die ). Huge herds of wildebeest and zebra can be found here along with smaller concentrations of Thomson s gazelle, Grant s gazelle, impala, kongoni, Kirk s dik dik, klipspringer and small numbers of roan, oryx, oribi, eland and waterbuck. There are also significant numbers of buffalo, giraffe and warthog. Elephants are relatively scarce on the open plains, and more common in the northern areas and the western corridor. The few remaining black rhinos are restricted to an inaccessible part of the park so one doesn t often see them. But the most popular animals to be found here in greater abundance than elsewhere on the northern circuit are the cats. Lions, cheetahs and leopard may all be seen here along with other predators, such as the spotted hyena, golden and black-backed jackals, wild cats and servals. All meals included. Overnight Serengeti Wilderness Camp. NB: Balloon safari If you would like to go on an early morning balloon safari over the Serengeti, this will be possible if you are at our central camp in the Serengeti. Please note that balloon safaris can only be organised by PRE-ARRANGEMENT and there is an additional cost for this. Day 9 Saturday 04 March 2017 Transfer to the Seronera airstrip for your (optional) flight to Arusha mid morning. Or return by road to Arusha.
