It is almost impossible to spend time with traditional hunter gatherer tribes and not affect the way they live. In Northern Tanzania, the Hadzabe, one of the last and most remote of the Bushmen tribes, still lives in the dry woodlands of remote Lake Eyasi. They live today as they have lived for thousands of years; hunting for game with bows and arrows made from giraffe tendons, gathering honey from the beautiful African baobab trees, and digging for roots and tubers from deep within the arid ground of the acacia bush land.

The Marangu Route is perhaps the easiest and most comfortable route to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro. The route is well developed and the climb is constant and moderate. Only the approach to the summit is the exception; this being slightly more demanding. The accommodation on this tour is in simple mountain huts, which is an advantage as the nights can be very cold.
