Days 1-2
Arusha
Start your trip in Arusha, a vibrant city located at the base of
volcanic Mount Meru. Known as the gateway to Tanzania’s inimitable
spoils, Arusha lies between Mount Kilimanjaro and the northern
safari circuits. Stay at Arusha Coffee Lodge – one of the oldest
properties in the area, the hotel is a restored coffee plantation
brimming with character. Take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool
before a tour and tasting of the lodge’s coffee estate, and later
wind down in the majestic Plantation Suite. The next day, embrace
Tanzania’s natural beauty on a day trip to Lake Duluti for tranquil
boat trips or waterside fun, or head out to explore the wilderness
on horseback.
