For those pressed for time, this two-day/one-night safari packs in two of Tanzania's most beloved national parks. You'll have the chance to see the Big Five and plenty more as you explore these two incredible destinations.
Tarangire National Park, home to Tanzania's largest elephant population, is a fascinating park, especially during the dry season when the Tarangire River becomes a vital source of water for animals throughout the region. As vast herds of wildebeest and zebra move to the river to drink, the park’s lions, leopards, and hyenas capitalize on the dynamic display of nature’s raw beauty.
Next, head to the world-famous Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where Cape buffalo, rhinoceros, and hippopotamus can be spotted amidst the caldera’s verdant plains. A picnic lunch by the Hippo Pool is a rare treat, allowing you to dine just a few dozen feet from these intimidating herbivores.

The Marangu Route, commonly known as the Coca-Cola Route, is popular because it can be completed in fewer days and offers permanent sleep huts at the campsites. Summit night from Kibo Hut is steep and passes Gilman’s Point to Uhuru Peak. Although this is a shorter route, it has a steeper incline and less time for acclimatization, resulting in a lower summit success rate. The Marangu Route is the only one where the ascent and descent share the same path, which leads to higher traffic on the trail.

The Lemosho Route is a newer, more remote route that offers arguably the most beautiful views on Kilimanjaro. Though slightly longer and more expensive, it provides a more gradual ascent, which is better for acclimatization. Starting on the western side of the mountain at Londorossi Gate, it is a bit farther from town but offers a stunning and less-crowded experience.
After passing through beautiful forests and moorlands, the route crosses the Shira Plateau on Day 3, where it connects with the Machame Route at Lava Tower, before descending into the Barranco Valley via the Southern Circuit. You may even be lucky enough to see buffalo, elephants, and other wildlife along the way. Because the route offers more time for acclimatization, it has a higher summit success rate.

The Machame Route, also known as the Whisky Route, is one of the most scenic and recommended routes on Kilimanjaro. This popular route winds through magnificent forests to gain a ridge, leading through the moorland zones to the Shira Plateau. It then traverses beneath the glaciated precipices of the Southern Ice Fields before joining the Barafu Route to the summit. Because it can be completed over a longer period and the incline is more manageable, it has a much higher summit success rate.
Duration: 7 days
