6 Days Kilimanjaro Trekking via Marangu Route

The renowned 6-day Marangu route Trekking, affectionately called the "Coca-Cola" path, stands out for its gentle incline and direct trajectory, rendering it the least arduous approach to Trekking Mount Kilimanjaro. This time-honored trail, equipped with dorm-style huts housing cozy mattresses and pillows, remains unrivaled in its popularity. Commencing from the southeast, the route's scenic appeal may be slightly diminished as the ascent and descent share a common course.

    I had the most incredible experience on this 3-day Tanzania Safari Tour! From the moment we were picked up, everything was perfectly organized. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, offering insights about the wildlife and culture. We saw the 'Big Five,' and the game drives through Serengeti National Park were beyond my expectations. The lodges were comfortable, and the food was delicious. If you’re short on time but want to experience Tanzania’s beauty, this is the perfect package!

    This 3-day Tanzania safari exceeded my expectations! The tour was well-organized, and we were able to explore three different national parks. Each day brought new sights and animals, and the guide's expertise made a huge difference in spotting animals like lions, cheetahs, and even elusive leopards. The lodges were cozy, with great food and excellent service. I would highly recommend this safari for anyone with limited time looking for a true Tanzanian wildlife experience
