Tanzania Group Departures

At Peaks Vista, we believe that timing your adventure with the natural rhythms of the moon can transform a great journey into an extraordinary one. Whether you’re trekking toward the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro or exploring the vast wilderness of the Serengeti, the presence of the moon above adds a sense of wonder, serenity, and unforgettable beauty. That’s why we offer special group departures that align with significant lunar phases—Half Moon, Full Moon, and the rare and magical Red Moon. These curated adventures give you the chance to experience Tanzania under some of the most breathtaking night skies imaginable. Our moon-based departures are ideal for climbers, photographers, and adventure travelers who want more than just the usual itinerary. Imagine reaching Uhuru Peak bathed in silver moonlight, or witnessing a blood-red moon rise above the savannah while lions roar in the distance. Whether you’re chasing stars, light for night hiking, or once-in-a-lifetime celestial events, these departures let you experience nature’s drama in its purest form. You’ll travel with a small group of like-minded explorers and be guided by experienced local experts who ensure that every detail is taken care of—so you can fully embrace the journey.

Half Moon Guaranteed Departures

Half Moon departures are perfect for those who enjoy a balanced night environment—enough moonlight to guide your way, but still dark enough for stargazing. These dates are ideal for summit attempts on Kilimanjaro or peaceful evenings in the bush. In 2025, our Half Moon group departures include:

Red Moon departures

The Red Moon departures are the rarest and most captivating. Scheduled around total lunar eclipses, these events cast a deep red or copper hue over the moon—a truly surreal sight when viewed from Tanzania’s highlands or open plains. In 2025, a total lunar eclipse (Red Moon) will take place on March 14. This once-in-a-year opportunity is perfect for adventurers and photographers who want to witness one of nature’s greatest shows in a pristine and wild setting.

Our group departures not only reduce costs through shared logistics but also foster unforgettable connections with fellow adventurers from around the world. With pre-set dates, professional guides, and thoughtfully planned itineraries, you can simply focus on soaking in every magical moment.
