Safari. With or
Without the Climb.
Here for the safari? You're in the right place — with a climb or without
The Climb and the Safari.
Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti — four parks, one loop, some of the best game-viewing on earth.
Our vehicles, our driver-guides, our permitting office in Arusha. Everything in one quote, built and run by the same team.
If you finish the climb on a Tuesday, the elephant under a baobab tree is on Wednesday morning. The plane home is sometime next week.
YOU ARE ALREADY HERE
JRO sits between the mountain and the parks. Whether you're coming off a climb or flying straight in, Arusha is the starting point for all four parks.
BUILT FOR A SLOWER WEEK
Customized safari land cruiser, good food, early mornings in the parks. The pace is different. That's the point.
SAME CREW, SAME STANDARD
Our driver-guides are full Peak Planet staff — held to the same exceptional standard, same radios, same direct line to the team. The bar doesn't change.
ONE QUOTE, NO HANDOFFS VEHICLES
Vehicles, driver-guides, park fees, lodging, meals — everything is ours. One number covers it all.
FOUR PARKS,
ONE LOOP.
The northern circuit threads four National Parks between Arusha and the Serengeti — each adds a different scene to the safari and a different reason to stop. Most clients pick two or three depending on how many days they have.
TARANGIRE
The dry-season elephant capital of northern Tanzania. Herds of 100+ around the Tarangire River, ancient baobabs, fewer vehicles than the Serengeti circuit. The first park most of our climbers see, often as a one-day appetizer.
LAKE MANYARA
A narrow strip of forest, soda lake, and acacia woodland between the Rift escarpment and the lake. Famous for tree-climbing lions and a high density of baboons. A half-day stop on the way up to the Crater.
NGORONGORO
A 600m-deep collapsed caldera holding 25,000 large mammals on a closed plain. Black rhino, the densest concentration of wildlife in Africa, the full big-five in a single morning. Crater rim lodges look down 600 meters into a private continent.
SERENGETI
A destination in its own. The Serengeti with it's exceptional number of big cats, particularly lion, and the more than 1.5 million wildebeest that make up the Great Migration. Reachable by road from Ngorongoro or by short flight from Arusha. A 3-day minimum to do it justice.

FROM THE
FIELD.
Photographs taken by our driver-guides and clients on the last twelve months of departures — the same parks, vehicles, and wildlife you'll see on your own circuit.
THE TRIP THEY THOUGHT
WAS THE EXTRA.
We almost skipped the safari. Three days later I was watching a leopard drop out of an acacia twenty feet from the vehicle. The mountain was the goal. The crater was the trip.
Our driver-guide is a wildlife expert, but he had also been on the mountain before. So we shared stories on the way to Manyara and then we transitioned into Safari mode. Same operation, no handoff.
I wanted to see as much as I could after my trek. Ben customized a safari to fit it all in — the crater, a river crossing, and even gorillas in Uganda. The trip of a lifetime.
