SAFARI ITINERARY
Day 1: Arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) and transfer to Arusha
Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO), our driver will be waiting for you. He’ll drive you to your hotel in Arusha in about 1-1,5 hour. Once arrived, you can finally rest after your long flight and start taking it all in. If there’s enough time, you can spend some time in the center of Arusha, or simply relax at your hotel. If you arrive early, we can even arrange an activity for you during the day (to be booked in advance). We’re more than happy to help you with information about places to go, where to eat and other practical arrangements.
Meals: dinner.
Day 2: Arusha – Lake Natron
Your guide will pick you up early to drive to Lake Natron. You have a long road ahead of you, part of which will take you through the most breathtaking landscapes. You’ll first drive 1 to 2 hours on a tarmac road and will then continue over dirt roads while you approach the sacred mountain of the Maasai, Ol Doinyo Lengai, which determines the landscapes around Lake Natron. After your arrival, if you don’t mind getting wet, you can do a pretty adventurous hike to the Engaresero waterfall. You’ll sleep near the lake.
Meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner.



Day 3: Full day on the east side of Lake Natron
After breakfast, you’ll leave your accommodation on foot (or by car if you prefer), together with your safari guide and local Maasai guide, for a walk to one of the least visited areas around the lake. In this area, you can usually see a lot of zebras, some wildebeest and maybe even giraffes. You can get close to the shore of the lake to see the flamingos up close. Your safari car will follow you the entire time and after visiting the shore of the lake, you’ll get in the car to drive to a nearby natural pool. In this entire area, there’s no roads so this is a real adventure! Once you get to the pool, you can relax, ‘swim’ (the pool is shallow and the water is pretty warm), watch the Maasai walk by with their cattle or make a short walk to the shore of the lake. This is a 20 to 30-minute walk. After all this adventure, you’ll drive back to your accommodation, where dinner will be served.
Meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner.




Day 4: Lake Natron – Arusha with sunrise visit to the lake
Today you’ll get up early to see the sunrise at the lake, not far from your accommodation. If you’re lucky you’ll see the most beautiful colors in the sky as the sun rises, and lots of flamingo’s and other birds. After this, you’ll have breakfast and start the drive back towards Arusha. If the weather permits, we’ll take another road than the one we used to drive to the lake to make sure you get to see even more beautiful landscapes.
Meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Day 5: Transfer from Arusha to Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) and departure
Meals: breakfast.
