The safari break we suggest most often to guests arriving a few days before a longer trip, or to anyone who wants a taste of Tanzania without long drives. Arusha National Park is an hour away: giraffes in the forest, buffalo in the glades, flamingos on the Momella Lakes and, on clear days, Mount Meru above it all.

On another day you walk through banana and coffee gardens to the Materuni waterfall, swim if you dare, and learn to roast and pound coffee with a Chagga family. In between there is time to do nothing at all.

  • A full game drive in Arusha National Park, with a walking safari on request
