Optional

SAFARI: Optional Activities During A Tanzania Safari: More Than Just a Safari: There is so much more to a Tanzanian vacation than game-driving. Sure, seeing the animals of the Big Five is undoubtedly the motivating factor for many visitors, but there is a wealth of options available to visitors who want something a little different. •Hot air balloon and champagne breakfast While morning and evening game drives offer fantastic game-viewing opportunities for visitors to the Serengeti, taking to the skies for a dawn hot air balloon safari is an unforgettable way to see the park. After a visually spectacular tour over the savannah, you’ll alight in the wilderness for a delicious champagne breakfast. •Walking Safari Without predators such as leopards and lions, Arusha National Park is an excellent place for walking safaris. Guided by a local ranger, visitors can take a leisurely stroll through the park to a picturesque waterfall. Along the way you can expect to see animals such as black and white colobus monkeys, giraffes, baboons, and more. •Masai Boma Visit The iconic Masai are omnipresent in and around the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and a visit to one of their traditional villages is a thrilling cultural excursion. In addition to a tour of a working Masai village, visitors can also expect demonstrations of traditional dance and the opportunity to purchase authentic, locally made jewelry. •Masai Market Tour Available only on Thursdays or on the 22nd of each month, a visit to an active and bustling Masai market is a truly amazing cultural experience. Visitors will have the chance to browse the market, marvel at the many people who come to sell their wares, and try some traditional Masai BBQ. •Village Walk Get an inside look at the homes and exquisite craft of Mto wa Mbu’s many tribes. Visitors will get a chance to meet locals and learn about banana beer, Makonde woodcarvings, and the tribal painting techniques; the village provides a great introduction to everyday life in Africa. •Mount Meru Arusha sits at the foot of Mount Meru, the confident and handsome brother to often shy Kilimanjaro. If climbing Kilimanjaro is your goal, Mount Meru is often recommended as a good training hike – and offers an amazing view of both the city and Kilimanjaro to those who make it to the top. •Marangu Village Tour The nearby village of Marangu offers a variety of cultural activities for those wanting to see something beyond the usual tourist attractions. Organic coffee plantations, banana beer breweries, ancient Chaga caves, and serene waterfalls are all on offer for those visiting this village in the Kilimanjaro foothills.
