(seasonal) and exploring the unique ecosystem of the Ngorongoro Crater filled with rhinos, flamingos and rhinos.
Go on a journey through Tanzania’s most celebrated landscapes, offering diversity and thrill at every turn. Begin amidst Tarangire’s ancient baobabs and elephant herds, then marvel at the flamingos and tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara. Continue your adventure into the vast plains of the Serengeti—home to the Great Migration—and explore the rich wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater.
our journey starts with a drive to Tarangire National Park, where ancient baobab trees and vast elephant herds welcome you into the wild. Over the coming days, explore the diverse landscapes of Tanzania—from the lush, flamingo-filled shores of Lake Manyara and the dramatic, rugged beauty of Lake Natron to the expansive plains of the Serengeti, where the Great Migration unfolds before your eyes. Discover the rich wildlife within the Ngorongoro Crater and immerse yourself in the vibrant cultures of the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes at Lake Eyasi.
Marangu Route, commonly known as the Coca Cola route is more popular because it can be done in fewer days and has permanent sleep huts at the campsites. Summit night from Kibo Hut is steep and passes Gilman’s Point to Uhuru Peak. It is a shorter route with a steeper incline and less time for acclimatization it tends to have a lower summit success rate. This is the only route where the ascent and descent route is shared, thus creating more traffic.
The Machame route on Kilimanjaro is a seven day camping route which allows for excellent acclimatization and particularly diverse scenery. It has been called the Whiskey route in the past and nowadays about 35% of all climbers on the mountain use it. In a matter of days you will climb Kilimanjaro from the equator up to an Arctic zone, moving through grasslands, tropical rainforest, alpine meadows, moorlands and high desert to snow and ice. Each day on this route presents quite a distinct ecosystem to experience, which is one reason it is so popular.
As a newer route, it is more remote and arguably more beautiful, but a bit longer and slightly more expensive. It starts on the Western side of the mountain at the Londorossi Gate, which is a further drive from town, and was introduced as an alternative to the Shira route. After beautiful forests and moorlands it crosses the Shira Plateau on day 3 to connect with the Machame Route at Lava Tower and down towards Barranco Valley via the Southern Circuit. Because this route can be done over a longer period of time for acclimatization, it has a higher success rate of summit.
