Tanzania Cultural Day Excursions
Arusha National Park Day Trip Safari (From Moshi or Arusha)
Arusha National park is located near Arusha, between the peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru. The Park and the town derive their name from Wa-Arusha people who traditionally live in this area. The Ngurdoto Crater, Momela Lakes, the highland mountain forest, and the rugged Mount Meru (4575m) are the four distinctive features of the park.
Although small, the park has a wealth of wildlife including Colobus monkeys, velvet monkeys, bushbucks, buffaloes, red forest duikers, hippos, and giraffes. Bird life, especially waterfowl, is abundant and interesting. You can do some hiking with an armed ranger at the Ngurdoto Crater and to the Mt. Meru Crater. This is a good trip for people who have a short stay in Tanzania.

Materuni Waterfalls: (From Moshi or Arusha)
The Materuni waterfalls are located approximately 20 -30 minutes outside of Moshi. This trip is ideal for guests who have a limited amount of time in the region, or have one extra day before/after their Kilimanjaro trek or safari.
From your hotel lobby, we will depart for Materuni Village. From there, we will walk approximately 30 minutes to the waterfall. The walk itself is extremely interesting, as you will see some smaller waterfalls and lots of waterways which are part of the irrigation system of the local farmers who grow coffee, bananas and many other fruits and vegetables.
Bring your swimsuit, because you will be able to swim in the cool and refreshing pool at the base of the waterfall. Here, you will enjoy a delicious lunch, before going on a short tour of Materuni village to see the typical life of the Chagga tribe. The village, located at a height of around 1300 m (4300 ft) above sea level is set within a dramatic landscape of high rises and deep valleys, immersed in the tropical rain forest.

Lake Manyara National Park Day Trip (From Moshi or Arusha)
Lake Manyara National Park is famous for its diverse wildlife, and its relatively small size makes it ideal for an exciting day trip filled with many adventures.
In the early morning, we will collect you from your hotel and drive you to Lake Manyara National Park. The park encompasses the northwest bank and part of the alkaline Lake Manyara, which is in the Great Rift Valley. The park is best known for its flamingos, pelicans and cormorants, but it is also the home of a few hundred other species of birds; it is therefore a paradise for ornithologists.
Next to a great variety of birds, the "Big Game" can also be seen. Elephants can often be spotted in the wooded regions, along with the tree-climbing lions. Indeed, it was thought for a long time that this spot is the only place where lions can be found with this atypical behavior of climbing trees. Baboons and guenons can also be spotted, as well as giraffes and various types of antelopes. After a picnic lunch, there will be more time for further game and wildlife watching before it is time to return to your hotel.
