Easily known as the
"Coca-Cola route", Marangu is by far the
most popular route to the summit of
Kilimanjaro. This could partly be as a
result of the fact that the Marangu is the
least expensive route, but more so, perhaps
the fact that it is possible to do the
Marangu route in 6 days, thereby getting to
the summit one day earlier than on the
Machame route. It is the easiest route to
Kilimanjaro Uhuru Peak but least scenic.

Sometimes called the
Whisky Route. This is a popular route up
steep paths 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 to join the
Barafu Route to the summit. This is probably
the most beautiful route up Kilimanjaro. All
your equipment and supplies are portered and
a cook prepares all your meals. Where
accommodation on the Marangu route is in
huts, the Machame route offers strictly
tents only. This makes Machame route better
suited to the slightly more adventurous
hiker, rewarding him with a scenic splendor
such as not seen on the Marangu route. The
Machame route is normally completed in a
minimum of 6 days.

Rongai Route This
remote and less frequently used route is the
second easiest route to Kilimanjaro. The
approach to the mountain is from the
less-forested north side and the descent is
by the Marangu Route. There are several
variations, the one described below is a
longer route taking in Mawenzi Tarn.

Umbwe Route The Umbwe
route is one of the shortest routes to the
Southern Glaciers and the Western Breach. It
is probably the most scenic, non-technical
route on Kilimanjaro. It is quite taxing,
primarily due to the relatively fast ascent
to higher altitude, but the rewards are
plentiful.

|
Lemosho Route This is
the longest and most remote route to
Kilimanjaro. After beautiful forests and
moorlands it crosses the Shira Plateau to
meet up with the Machame Route. Groups may
be accompanied on the first day by an armed
ranger as the forests around the Lemosho
Glades are rich in buffalo, elephant and
other game.

At 5,199 m, Mount
Kenya is the second highest peak in Africa. It
is an ancient extinct volcano, during whose
period of activity (3.1–2.6 million years ago)
it is thought to have risen to 6,500 m. Mount
Kenya is one of the most impressive landscapes
in East Africa. There are three main climbing
routes, which penetrate the forest and the
moorland - Naromoru, Sirimon and Chogoria.

East Africa travel destinations that we
include in our catalogue include Kenya,
Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. East Africa is
home to the safari, since this is where the
African savannah is at its best and the
plains are filled with wildlife. Hikers also
come to East Africa to enjoy the mountains,
including Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania),
Mount Kenya, Mount Longonot and Mount Meru.
The East African coastline has some of the
best beaches in the world, including the
famous spice island of Zanzibar.
Kenya Safari:
Kenya is the original safari country where
the 'safari' (Swahili for travel) begun. In
Kenya, you can mix the idyllic experience of
a tropical beach vacation on the warm Indian
Ocean with an East African wild animal
safari expedition. Combining the two makes
for a unique holiday. Part of your vacation
is filled with excitement as you observe
African wildlife at close quarters, while
part is spent relaxing and soaking up the
sun on a sandy beach.
A beach and safari break in Kenya is an
exotic getaway from the daily routines of
city life. It also makes for the ideal
honeymoon for newly weds, with time to relax
as well as a touch of adventure.
East Africa, including Kenya, does not yet
have a high profile as a holiday destination
in America, but is growing in reputation as
a unique vacation experience. Europeans, and
the British in particular, have less
distance to travel to Africa, and have been
been the mainstay of Kenyan tourism,
attracted by the unique mix of the tropical
beach and African safari vacation. Luxury
vacations have become more affordable as
European currencies have strengthened,
prompting investment in Kenyan tourist
facilities.
Tanzania Safari:
Safari in Tanzania is a worth undertaking.
We are the original safari company offering
quality Tanzania safaris to Ngorongoro
Crater, animal migration tours in Serengeti,
Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
honeymoon vacations in Zanzibar Island,
family holidays in spice island and luxury
beach resorts of pemba island. A variety of
accommodation in Tanzania is offered from

The best time to go for an African safari is
when the animals are easy to find and in
dense numbers. Deciding when to go on safari
depends on what country you would like to
visit and when you are able to plan your
trip. Seasons differ in East Africa so you
can really plan a great safari for almost
every month of the year, if you are flexible
about where you want to go to.....:
Kenya:
The best time to go on safari in Kenya and
experience a huge density and diversity of
wildlife is when the annual migration of
millions of wildebeest, zebra and gnu's
descend on the Mara plains with predators
close behind. The best time to see this
wildlife spectacle is from July to October.
Other parks in Kenya are also excellent and
the best time to visit these would be during
the dry seasons - January through March and
July through October.
With the scarcity of water during the dry
seasons, the animals tend to gather in more
concentrated numbers around permanent water
holes, rivers and lakes, so they are easier
to find. The vegetation is also less lush
which simply means that viewing animals from
a distance is easier.
Tanzania:
If you want to see the Great Migration
unfold, head to Tanzania's northern parks;
the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The best time
to witness the annual migration is probably
February - March when the wildebeest and
zebra have their young. Not only can you
enjoy seeing baby animals, but the predators
are at the highest number too. Because the
herds also concentrate in the south of the
Serengeti, it's easy to plan your wildlife
viewing in that area and find a safari
company that offers lodging there.
June to November is Tanzania's dry season
and is the best time to visit all the parks
(and you can always hop over to Kenya's
Masai Mara to witness the Great Wildebeest
Migration during this time). Tanzania's
Southern Parks are perfect to visit during
this time since the animals tend to
congregate around permanent water and it
isn't so hot and humid.
All of Tanzania's parks suffer from the
rains which generally fall from March to May
in the North, and from November to May in
the South and West. Roads get washed out and
given the sheer size of Tanzania's parks,
the animals tend to spread out, and this
makes wildlife viewing less satisfying (if
you're looking for sheer numbers of
animals).
December through March can get quite hot and
humid, especially in Western and Southern
Tanzania which makes it a little
uncomfortable to spend a lot of time in the
bush.
If you want to add a hike up Mount
Kilimanjaro to your safari, the best time to
hike is January - March and September -
October.

Masai
Mara - Serengeti wildebeest migration:
Wildebeest migration to and back from Serengeti into
the Maasai Mara is the single most popular wildlife
spectacle in Kenya. The wildebeest migration is such
a phenomenon it involves movement of over 1 million
animals crossing plains and rivers in the Mara
migration. River crossings are the most spectacular
where the wildebeest of
Mara jump into rivers full of crocodiles and surging
currents. The wildebeest is feted as the clown of
the Savannah. Also known as a gnu, the animal has a
structure resembling a young horse with a heavily
built frontal shoulders and chest and a slender
posterior. Its legs are so slender its intriguing
how it supports the proportionately larger body
frame. The title results from its unusual
behavior considered to other bovids, for example a
gnu herd will usually scatter in different
directions when attacked by a lion.

Lamu Town began life as a 14th century Swahili
settlement. But the island has seen many
visitors and influences, including Portuguese
explorers, Turkish traders and the Omani Arabs.
Despite all these influences, Lamu developed its
own particular culture which has ultimately
endured. The island is a beautiful place of
rolling dunes and endless beaches, where tiny
villages nestle among coconut and mango
plantations and lateen sailed dhows ply the
waters. Dense mangrove forests fringe the
mainland and the inland sides of the island. The
beach on Lamu Island is 12km of empty sands
backing on to an ocean protected by a reef...Read

Mount Kenya: Mount Kenya National Park
Mount Kenya plays a crucial role in the life of
the country being Kenya's single most important
permanent watershed and her largest forest
reserve. The fertile soils of its lower slopes
also sustain the growth of the nation's richest
farmlands whilst much of its vegetation is
globally unique. In recent years, however, the
Mountain has suffered greatly from the adverse
effects of deforestation, resulting in large
tracts of its lower slopes being entirely
denuded of trees and occupied by squatters. And,
although much of the vast forest cover remains
intact, the growing demand for timber (Kenya's
staple construction and fuel source) threatens
to lead to even more serious deforestation and
subsequent soil erosion. ....Read

Shaba National Reserve
It is impossible to talk about the Shaba National
Reserve without mentioning Samburu National Reserve,
and Buffalo Springs National Reserve, because they
are all intertwined, and they form a trio of unusual
and attractive game sanctuaries, and all neighbours.
Shaba is a relatively small National Park being a
little over 239 sq. kms, and it is only 70 kms north
of Mount Kenya, at an altitude varying between
700-1500metres.
Visitors go to Parks to see wildlife, and the Shaba
Game is outstanding. You have a very good chance of
seeing Giraffe, Cheetah, leopard, and lion. You can
add to this gazelle, oryx, zebra, and Gerenuk, but
of course it is the predators that are most sought
after....Read more..Lake
