Student & Safari

Moshi

The journey starts in the pleasant Moshi city, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro airport you will be welcomed and taken to your accommodation.

The next day you will visit the Chagga caves and the Materuni waterfall. These historic caves, actually excavated tunnels, were excavated by the Chaggas about 200 years ago to protect themselves from Maasai attacks.

While in Moshi, don’t forget to visit the trendy Union Café. This popular café serves delicious coffee from its own roasted beans. But also tasty pizzas, pastas and burgers.

Arusha

Today you will visit the Kikuletwa springs. You can swim in these wonderful hot springs. After lunch you drive to Arusha city.

In the afternoon it is nice to visit the local market, various restaurants and to spend some time in a popular pub ‘Via Via Cultural Lounge & café’. Music, fun and a lot of atmosphere. Immerse yourself in the local life of Arusha city.

You spend the night in a lodge in this safari capital of Tanzania.

Lake Manyara

After breakfast in Arusha you drive to Lake Manyara National Park. The drive there takes about two hours. Just before the Lake Manyara National Park you drive through the village of Mto wa Mbu, where you will see more of it tomorrow. This typical African village has a colorful local market with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.

On arrival in Lake Manyara you go on safari in the park.
At the end of the afternoon you drive out of the park to a camping site just outside the boundary of the park.

Mto Wa Mbu

Enjoy a cultural day together today at the local village of Mto wa Mbu where everything happens. Markets, local bars, fruit and vegetable shops, art and lots of local activity. You can walk or cycle through the village here and get to know the local life here.
You will also visit a bar where you can taste locally brewed banana beer! In the afternoon you will have lunch in the middle of a banana plantation where you will be served all local dishes.

Serengeti

You will leave early in the morning for the Serengeti National Park. The road from the Ngorongoro Highlands to the Serengeti is one of the most beautiful routes in Tanzania. Along the way you will stop at a beautiful viewpoint over the Ngorongoro Crater and visit the Olduvai Gorge and the special museum about the origin of man. A picnic lunch is included.

On the way to your accommodation you go on safari and you can enjoy the many wild animals that you will see.
You will camp in the middle of Serengeti National Park for the next few nights and make various safaris from here for the next few days. This immense park with its endless plains has so much to offer. The animals are most active at sunrise.

After breakfast you drive to the Ngorongoro area. Along the way you will make beautiful safaris where you can still see many wild animals. You continue to the camping site at the top of the edge of the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater.

Tomorrow morning you descend after breakfast for a safari in the Ngorongoro Crater; a world famous crater where you can spot the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino) quite easily. A tip is to get up extra early tomorrow morning, so that you are very early in the crater and have the place to yourself. A picnic lunch is included for lunch.

After lunch you drive back to Arusha. You will be dropped off at a private house (on half board basis) near the village of Momella. A beautiful area on the slopes of Mount Meru.
