About
Marangu Route is also known as the “Coca Cola” or “tourist” route. It is the easiest and shortest route to the summit. It’s the only route where you’re going to find sleeping huts at every other campsite which are equipped with solar lights and comfortable beds. The huts are communal in nature, and bunks have sponge mattresses and pillows. There are 60 beds at both Mandara and Kibo Huts and 120 beds at Horombo Hut. The lower two huts have bathrooms and running water facility. The last camp also has both men's’ and ladies’ lavatories, but are very basic in nature. All climbing groups residing within the huts share their meal in the dining huts which makes for a jovial and energetic atmosphere.

          5 day 4 night safari with Dismas
          We have just finished our 5 day 4 night safari with signature safari. It was well organised and our guide Dismas was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and he managed to get us to see the big 5 and the magnificent migration. He was very considerate to our children and drove safely throughout the trip, constantly ensuring the children are safe. He was punctual with his time keeping and was always ready to go as planned. We would be recommending Dismas and signature safaris to all our friends and family.

          I had so much fun with these guys.
          My decision to climb Kilimanjaro alone did not seem lonely for a second because guide Sabastian and his group of guys treat you like family. They were really supportive of me the entire way up, and I couldn't have made it to the top without their assistance. In addition to serving delicious meals, they are flexible with the menu to suit your preferences. I would advise anyone wishing to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to use Sabastian as their guide.

          Amazing
          During our private safari, we visited Lake Manyara National Park, Ndutu, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. Our safari guide, Ally, was quite helpful, and thanks to his knowledge, we were able to see the leopard enjoying his meal, young lion pups playing with their mother, and another lion group climbing the tree from around 10 meters away. We were able to glimpse black rhinos and servals in Ngorongoro Crater, albeit from a considerable distance. We had some little glitches, as is common in Africa, but overall we appreciated everything from the minute we booked to the moment we left Tanzania. Innocent, Ally, and the team, thank you for excellent service.

          Killimanjar, challenging but enjoyable
          The trekking experience was fantastic. We were completely supported, and the team was incredibly attentive to all of our requests. On the final day, the staff went out of its way to keep us energized for the lengthy uphill trek, singing and dancing throughout the night to keep us from sleeping.

          7-DAY Mt. Kilimanjaro Climb-Lemosho Route "Amazing Summit Experience!!!
          Mr. Innocent Kawiche of Signature Safari assisted us in planning a fantastic seven-day trek in less than a month. All of our requirements were met as needed. The head guides, Hassan and Sebastian, and their team, exuded great energy and ensured our comfort at all times. The staff danced, sang, and laughed with us to brighten our spirits during the grueling hike. The meals given were of good quality in accordance. using the food that we suggested. I really recommend Signature Safari, which actually helps you travel with a grin. Thank you once more to Innocent and his staff for guiding me through the process of realizing my goal.

          Pole poles
          Without any mountain expertise, we enjoyed seven gorgeous days with a very professional and polite company. Our guides Hassani and Endrie advised us to do it, pole pole, drink water, and think positive; it works! We ate like kings and queens due to Franck and Khalid, the best waiters we've ever encountered, and all of the porters were like heroes, preparing anything for us when we arrived at the camps. Thank you so much for our adventure that we will never forget.

          ONE TEAM ONE DREAM
          I had the best time hiking a mountain for the first time. The personnel and guides at Signature Safari were excellent and kept us motivated during my climb. For the work they do and their consistently good responses, I heartily recommend Signature Safaris. I want to express my gratitude to Sabastian and his staff in particular for maintaining our family unit. I'm grateful to Signature Safari for their fantastic organization.

          A Fun But Difficult Game
          It was a wonderful pleasure to trek. All of our requests were met with great responsiveness and a sense of complete support from the team. With singing and dancing through the night to keep us from dozing off, the staff went above and above on the last day to keep us inspired for the arduous uphill journey.

          Extremely courteous and professional individuals. Everything went as planned, with no "surprises" or additional charges. I heartily endorse this business. There were so many animals on the safari, and the memories were great.

          Great safari
          This was an interesting safari and for me got better as the days progressed. prior to the safari I had a couple of questions about pick up and accommodation. Which the team answered. I would say closer to my safari date I did have to chase a few times regarding if they had receive my deposit and pick up time. I didn’t stress too much as that can sometimes be the African way but I wouldn’t say it was standard as other companies were prompt in contacting me and I knew all the details in good time. The tour started with a pick up form my hotel in Moshi (note this company is based out of Arusha so if you are in Moshi they charge $45 for a single way pick up). My driver Hillary (office admin) was prompt and really friendly. I arrived at the meeting point and we took the safari vehicle to Tarangire park first. The biggest disappointment was the state of the vehicle. Eye old and the seats for some of us were wet (the did change the cushions for us). The condition of the vehicle was as more noticeable when we got to the park and you saw the other companies vans with were in a much better condition. I was very uncomfortable in my seat. The guide Will was great. Day 1 a bit quiet I thought, but by day 2 we had bonded he started talking more about the animals and history and we all became a ‘family’. The guide was really accommodating aswell and I would say an exceptional driver I gave excellent driver. He managed not to get stuck and navigated through some really tough situations. Ngorongoro on day 2 was amazing we had a really good game drive. On the way back the company kindly had my main suitcase stored as I had to go straight to catch a flight. They dropped me to airport at reduced price. I had a really nice time on this tour. Bit of feedback for improvement would be to invest in a new vehicle, I think this would make it a 5* experience for guests.

          A True Sample of "EXCELLENT" Tour Guide and the Company
          Upon the arrival we were warmly welcomed by the tour guide, she mentioned our names on board and we felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start. The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible and for that she deserves a special thanks. We had two great days there, which also added up to the experience. The guide was such a special and highly motivated guide and for that I recommend her. Truly we enjoyed driving as a family through the area. The scenery was beautiful and it was relieve to drive in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The experience was good we also had a chance to spot many and different kinds of wild animals and the guide was knowledgeable when it came to field work The company itself had perfectly organized on everything eg accomodations, game drive, food and other things. We highly recommend the company itself. Kudos 👍👌👌. Many thanks again and I recommend Diani Tanzania Safaris. If you want to spend your money well for more tour experiences in Tanzania,just try them .
