Day 1

Day 1 Arusha

This is the moment you've been waiting for: your Tanzanian safari starts here. You have so much to look forward to and we'll get your trip underway as soon as we give you an introduction to our team and explain what lies ahead.

You'll spend some time in Arusha, where there's always something happening. The endlessly busy streets are a fascinating performance in their own right, but the city also has clamorous markets, excellent museums and a fun food scene. Best of all, it's a window on local life that you just can't get out in the safari parks.

Activity Day 1

You will be met on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to your hotel in Arusha. No meals are included on this day.

Accommodation – Day 1

Four Points by Sheraton Arusha

Staying at Four Points by Sheraton Arusha means being in the heart of the city, yet sleeping in luxurious rooms that feel like an oasis far from city life. The elegant rooms have hardwood floors and you'll find that the onsite swimming pool and gym are perfect for relaxing. The restaurant, too, is excellent and the tree-filled grounds help you forget the busy city streets not far away.

Day 2

Day 2 Lake Manyara National Park

You're going to love Lake Manyara National Park because it promises experiences you just can't get elsewhere. For example, this is one of the most compact parks in Tanzania's north: the park consists of a narrow strip of forest shadowed by vast Lake Manyara on one side and the cliffs of the Rift Valley escarpment on the other. The park is known for its large elephant and baboon populations, and part of the excitement of visiting here is never quite knowing when you're going to come face-to-face with an elephant. And then there are the tree-climbing lions for which the park is famous: this is one of very few places in Africa where lions routinely climb (and spend much of their time up in) trees.

Activity Day 2

After breakfast, check out of your room by 10AM. Thereafter drive to Lake Manyara, a soda Lake lying in the Rift Valley arriving in time for Lunch and an afternoon Game drive in Lake Manyara National Park, home of the tree-climbing lions.

Accommodation – Day 2

Kirurumu Manyara Lodge

You may want to sit on the terrace of your room at the cliff-top Kirurumu Manyara Lodge and never leave. The views out over Lake Manyara National Park and beyond are truly spectacular. The rooms are large and lovely, the staff will make you feel like one of the family, and you're well placed for visiting Lake Manyara National Park.
