Day 1: Arusha/Moshi – marangu

You’ll be picked up after breakfast from your Moshi or Arusha accommodation and head to the nearby town of marangu.

Kisaya falls, the walk to these picturesque falls is a leisurely hike through local banana plantations and quiet clusters of homes. You’ll use stepping stones to cross the river and there’s a bit of muddy downhill hiking to get there, but the reward at the end is a towering waterfall with blessedly cool waters beneath. The particularly adventurous may even wish to hop in for a quick swim. You’ll pay a visit to a locally owned and operated coffee plantation to learn more about the process that takes the beans from the tree to our cups. Try your hand at manually grinding and roasting beans and reward your hard work with some delicious, fresh coffee. You’ll venture down into the inky black darkness of the tunnels in which chaga sheltered when the Maasai would raid from the lowlands. Your guide will guide you unerringly through the underground labyrinth as he describes the days of guerrilla warfare and how the people survived underground for so long.visit a local banana beer vendor to try this potent local brew.

Day 5: Hadzabe cultural day – Arusha

You’ll be up before breakfast today, as you’ll be joining the Hadzabe Bushmen for the opportunity to hunt for your own food!

One of the last true bushman tribes in Africa, the Hadzabe live very much as they always have despite the rapid development of Tanzania. With only 2,000 members, the Hadzabe tribe are a fascinating people who offer us a window into how life in Tanzania was in the past.

The local hunters will prepare a demonstration of hunting techniques just for us. Far from being a mere performance, this display reveals a great deal about their everyday lives when they must hunt for animals to feed their families. You will see firsthand how the Hadzabe use distinctive motions and even the body parts of certain animals to lure their prey close enough that they can be brought down with hand-crafted poisons.

After a late breakfast, you’ll have the opportunity for a drive around Lake Eyasi proper. While this shallow soda lake is not home to the same variety of wildlife you’ll find in a national park, you’ll have the chance to spot a variety of bird and mammal life. On occasion, flamingos and hippos even call the lake home.

In the afternoon, you’ll return to Arusha.

Alternatively, you might wish to spend your last night at the world-famous Africa amini Maasai lodge. Here, you’ll overnight in a Maasai Boma and participate in Maasai led activities such as guided nature walks, traditional dance, donkey rides, and more.
