Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

After a safari briefing in the morning, you will begin your journey to Tarangire National Park, which is about a two-hour drive. The park is home to giant baobab trees and African elephants, with the bush savannah and seasonal marshes adding to the natural beauty. Tarangire is also home to buffaloes, zebras, and wildebeests, which are often closely followed by a range of predators, including lions. Leopards are occasionally seen, but cheetahs are rarely spotted. From the open roof of the safari jeep, you will be able to take in the landscape and observe the animals. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and drive to the lodge for rest and a beautiful overnight stay.

After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch, you will leave the caldera in the afternoon and drive back to Moshi, where you’ll enjoy an amazing view of the cultural homes in Materuni, all while hearing the sounds of birds from inside your room.

Day 3

Ngorongoro Crater - Materuni Waterfalls

Ngorongoro Crater - Materuni Waterfalls

Enjoy an early morning view and amazing breakfast. Afterward, you will meet the guide who will teach you about the Chagga culture and the surrounding fauna and flora. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck, you will see the summit of Kilimanjaro. When you reach the waterfalls, you will see that they are more than 80 meters high. The pool at the bottom of the waterfall invites you for a refreshing swim, so don’t forget your swimwear! After having enjoyed the scenery, you will slowly return with your guide to Materuni village, where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch. You will also have the opportunity to taste our local banana beer—definitely not to be missed! Next, you’ll learn how coffee is cultivated, dried, roasted, and further processed. You will grind the coffee, which is traditionally accompanied by Chagga songs and dance and is a fun way to immerse yourself in the local culture. Before you say goodbye, you can savor the coffee you made.
