Welcome to Tanzania! Karibu sana!
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by your private representative from Afrimine Tours.
A scenic transfer takes you to Arusha, beautifully located between lush coffee plantations and the foothills of Mount Meru, Tanzania’s second-highest peak. On clear days, you may already catch a glimpse of the iconic Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance.
After check-in at your boutique hotel, the remainder of the day is dedicated to relaxation. Unwind by the pool, stroll through the tropical gardens, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere after your journey.
In the evening, a welcome dinner awaits you, offering a first taste of Tanzanian hospitality and cuisine.
After a leisurely breakfast, you will head to one of Tanzania’s most scenic golf courses, located at the base of Mount Meru.
Enjoy an exclusive 18-hole golf round surrounded by lush landscapes, open fairways, and panoramic views. This course is truly unique: while playing, you are framed by the dramatic slopes of Mount Meru, and weather permitting, treated to breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro rising majestically on the horizon.
The course is known for its tranquility and natural beauty, often enhanced by sightings of local wildlife such as antelopes and exotic bird species.
After your game, return to your hotel for lunch. The afternoon is yours to relax, perhaps with a spa treatment or a refreshing swim.
Today, you will explore the diverse ecosystems of Arusha National Park, one of Tanzania’s most scenic and underrated parks.
A highlight of the day is a guided walking safari with an armed ranger. Unlike traditional game drives, this immersive experience allows you to explore nature on foot, heightening your senses and bringing you closer to the environment.
Walk through open savannah, lush forest, and along shimmering lakes where flamingos gather. Encounter giraffes, buffalo, warthogs, and a rich variety of birdlife, all from a safe yet thrilling perspective.
After a picnic lunch in nature, you return to Arusha for a relaxed afternoon.
Start your day with another 18-hole golf round at the Mount Meru course, giving you another opportunity to enjoy this spectacular setting.

After an extensive game drive and picnic lunch, continue your journey toward the southern Serengeti ecosystem, arriving in the Ndutu region.
Spend a full day exploring Ndutu, one of the best locations to witness the Great Migration Calving Season.
During this time, thousands of wildebeest give birth each day, attracting predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. This creates dramatic and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
Your expert guide will take you to prime viewing areas, ensuring exceptional safari experiences throughout the day.
After a final morning activity, travel to the vibrant village of Mto wa Mbu, located near Lake Manyara.

This authentic cultural interaction provides a meaningful contrast to your wildlife safari experience.
