Day 3

Exploring the wildlife

Exploring the wildlife

This morning, you will hopefully wake up to the very talkative Colobus monkeys. Breakfast is served and shortly thereafter we mount and directions are taken towards the area where the film Hatari was filmed, starring John Wayne. Thereafter, halfway into the morning ride, we start the climb (on horseback), some will be done on horse and some on foot, aiming to reach a viewpoint, that if clear has one of the best views of Mt Kilimanjaro. You drive past the “Fig Tree Arch”, a massive fig tree arch, big enough to fit five horses underneath it. The drive continues until we reach lunch, beautifully located next to a waterfall.

After lunch, start heading back towards the horses, we then ride back down to camp and after returning to camp, there will be an option to jump into the vehicles (or relax in camp) and go visit the Momella lakes, hoping to see some hippos and beautiful water birds. Sundowners at the lakes before heading back to camp for showers and dinner.
