Day 1
Dar Es Salaam - Arusha National Park
Dar Es Salaam - Arusha National Park
Your journey starts with a morning flight from Dar es Salaam to Kilimanjaro, where your guide is waiting to meet you. From there it's a short drive to Arusha National Park, one of the only parks in northern Tanzania where you're allowed to explore on foot.
So this is where you begin, the old way: a guided walking safari alongside an armed ranger, moving quietly through forest and open glade beneath the slopes of Mount Meru. On foot, the bush comes alive at a different pace, you read tracks in the dirt, follow birdsong, and come upon giraffe, buffalo, zebra and the acrobatic black-and-white colobus monkey at eye level rather than from a vehicle.
In the afternoon you continue by 4×4 on a game drive around the Momela Lakes, where flamingo gather in the shallows, before settling in for the night near Arusha already with the feeling of having truly been in the wild, not just driven through it.
