For the explorer who wants something more challenging, we are excited about our 12 day tour that takes in not just the grandeur and majesty of Kilimanjaro, but also Kilimanjaro’s little brother and nearest neighbour, Mount Meru. Meru is a tough gem with a violent volcanic history that has carved it into its unique shape – but don’t worry, the last eruption was more than a hundred years ago! Set amidst the glory of the Arusha National Park, it dominates the park’s horizon. The fertile plains and lakes of the park are teeming with wildlife – monkeys, giraffe, zebra, shy dik-diks as well as leopard and spotted hyena - on which you’ll be able to gaze as you journey to Meru’s slopes. And it’s not an easy climb – Africa’s 5th highest mountain is a challenging trek in its own right but perfect for a three-day acclimatization for your next challenge – Kilimanjaro. Words can’t do justice to Kilimanjaro. You have to see for yourself. And it’s not just about the glowing skies, the lush foothills, the desolation of the upper reaches or the glorious views. It’s about your own resilience, your own endurance and toughness in the face of a serious but beautiful challenge. You’ll experience not just the external wonders of the climb but you’ll find by the end of your adventure you’ll have found out more about yourself. Knowledge is a beautiful thing.
Prior to landing you will notice that the crystal clear waters of the Zanzibar beaches truly exist. Our driver will collect you from the airport and transport you to the hotel in Stone Town. Stone Town is the ancient city and cultural heart of Zanzibar. You will be pleased to know that much of what you see today is the same as it was two hundred years ago. One could simply meander through the winding alleys, bustling bazaars and mosques for countless hours. There is an optional Historical Stone Town tour that will guide you through centuries of culture. This tour captures the essence of Zanzibar by visiting iconic land marks including but not limited to – the House of Wonders, the Palace Museum (People’s Palace), Dr Livingston’s house and the Arab Fort. We will also explore the market, mosques and Cathedrals. There is enough time to analyse the hand carved wooden doors. In the evening there are two options for dinner. You can dine at the hotel or we have something for the foodies. You can tantalize your taste buds with flavoursome local cuisines or enjoy the fresh seafood at the food market, Forodhani Garden.
There will be an optional spice tour in the morning for those who can resist sleeping in and after midday we will make our way to Kendwa to explore the finest Zanzibar beaches. Kendwa’s beaches feature golden sand with shimmering water that reflects the clear skies and white foam that will tickle your toes.
In the morning there is an optional visit to the Tortoise Island after which we will transport you back to the hotel to enjoy the Zanzibar beaches. There are numerous water sports and activities on offer including snorkelling, volleyball, boat trips, scuba diving and more. There is of course the option to relax on the beach and sip on an exotic drink whilst you lounge in the sun.
After you have enjoyed a delicious breakfast we will provide transportation to Zanzibar International airport where you will connect your flight.
