Kilimanjaro - Materuni cultural tour
Kilimanjaro - Materuni cultural tour
You will be picked up from your hotel in Moshi and drive to Materuni village. Materuni is the home of the Chagga tribe, which is still an authentic tribal village. This charming place is just 15 kilometers from Moshi town and is the last village before the Kilimanjaro National Park.
Upon arrival, you will register at the village office and your trip can begin. First, you will visit the waterfalls. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck, you will see the summit of Kilimanjaro. When you reach the waterfall, you will see they are over 80 meters high. The pool to the bottom of the waterfall is an inviting place for refreshing swims, so don’t forget your swimwear. After enjoying the scenery, you slowly return with your guide to Materuni village, where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch. Before you say goodbye and return to Moshi in the afternoon, you can savor the coffee you made and appreciate the views of the surrounding rainforest.

Day 2
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
We will pick you up from your hotel at 7:30 am. After meeting the guide, we proceed on a 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park, famous for its diverse landscape. The park is particularly well-known for its abundance of ancient baobab trees and the largest concentration of elephants in the country. It provides unique opportunities to observe the interaction between elephant families. We will do a game drive through the park, depending on where there are reported sightings of animals. We will mostly follow predators (lion, cheetah and leopard), as they are harder to spot than herbivores (giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, etc.).
We'll then head to the Tarangire River picnic site for lunch and enjoy the beautiful river view and animals. Small monkeys and baboons will try to scare you off your lunch but are not anything to worry about. After lunch, we'll continue with the game drive. We exit the park at around 5:30 pm, when we'll head to our accommodation.

Serengeti National Park
Today, you drive to one of the most famous game parks in Africa, the Serengeti! The park is best known for hosting the most amazing wildlife spectacle on earth – the great migration. This is when over 1 million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle head to and from the Mara River and the Ngorongoro Highlands in search of fresh grass and water. Other popular wild animals include the Big Five (elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard, and rhino). The many predators include cheetahs, wild dogs, jackals, and hyenas, to name a few. Serengeti also inhabits over 350 species of birds - both migratory and resident.
Enjoy an awesome game drive. In the evening, you will drive to the lodge for a hot shower, dinner, and overnight.

Day 5
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is the best wildlife park in Tanzania due to its beautiful landscape. Being in a crater makes it easier to see the wildlife. After an early breakfast at 6:00 am, we'll head to the Ngorongoro viewpoint and look at the amazing view. The surreal sight will take your breath away. We will then descend into the crater on a journey to find the black rhinos. Rhinos are the hardest to spot in this beautiful crater, as most animals will be easier to spot in this park due to it being a floor crater.
The Ngorongoro Crater is the highlight of the parks in Tanzania. It has the most beautiful scenery and is populated with an abundance of animals. The crater itself is self-sustaining for the animals, so they don’t have to migrate out of it. After lunch, we'll do a game drive and ascend the crater, then transfer to your accommodation in Arusha.
