The 5-day Marangu Route is one of the shortest and most direct trails to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. Often called the “Coca-Cola Route,” it provides comfortable sleeping huts along the way, offering a more sheltered experience compared to camping. Trekkers journey through lush rainforests, alpine meadows, and rocky terrain, culminating in the summit push to Uhuru Peak.
The shorter duration requires a faster pace and less time for acclimatization, making it suitable for experienced trekkers with good fitness levels. With knowledgeable guides and support staff, climbers can embark on a challenging yet rewarding adventure to the roof of Africa.
Our 7-day Migration wildlife safaris holidays and travel packages, have been designed specifically to focus on increasing your chance to see the great Serengeti wildebeest migration. We have designed the itinerary to include the Lake Ndutu area, southern Serengeti and central Serengeti National Park where the majority of the wildebeest migration can normally be found from December through to April. To save on unnecessary travel time and to increase your game viewing time, this itinerary has been designed that you fly from the Serengeti National Park to Arusha town on the last day. The itinerary also include a visit to the world famous Ngorongoro Crater.
