Adventure & Sports Tour – 6 days

We will be picked up from Kilimanjaro Airport and drive through rural Tanzania to Momella. Momella is situated at the foot of Mount Meru and very close to Arusha National Park. We will stay at Hillside Retreat, a beautiful NGO lodge.

After a delicious breakfast, we will take the mountain bike and start a tour around Momella to get to know the different solidarity projects that the NGO has. The projects we will be able to see are: the hospital, the orphanage, a clothing workshop that gives work to women, and finally the different schools that the NGO has, from primary to vocational training. We will have lunch at the NGO's restaurant in Momella, get our strength back and in the afternoon we will continue our bike tour along the Ngare Nanyuki River. During our bike tour we will be able to enjoy a beautiful sunset on the banks of the river. In the evening we will return to our accommodation in Momella where we will have dinner and go to sleep.

We will visit Arusha National Park, where we will enter the mystical jungle inside the park. We will leave the car to walk inside the park, always with the company of our guide. During the visit we will be able to take a canoe and navigate through the park. We will be able to see giraffes, zebras, buffaloes and with a bit of luck elephants. We will have lunch inside the park. In the evening and before sunset, we return to Momella for dinner and bed.

On our fourth day, we will become Maasai for the whole day. In the morning we will walk with them, on a typical Maasai trail, crossing villages and meeting locals who will invite us to visit their homes. We will finish the day at the Original Maasai Lodge, another of the lodges that the NGO has for hosting tourists. We will enjoy its surroundings, its swimming pool with views of the African savannah and from the rooms we will be able to see the majesty of Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa in front of us. In the evening, we will sit around a campfire with the Maasai who work at the lodge. We will share our experiences with them over a glass of wine or beer (not included in the price). We will then have dinner at the Original Maasai Lodge where we will also stay for the next few days.

Our penultimate day consists of a hike of several hours to a secret viewpoint. This hike will take all morning and we will have food along the way and even the help of a donkey if we are unable to get there. Upon arrival at the lodge, we will dance with the Maasai, watch the sun go down behind Mount Meru and see how the sun's rays illuminate Kilimanjaro. Dinner and overnight at the Original Maasai Lodge.

On our last day, we will be able to do or see what we may not have had time to do or want to come back and do again, such as seeing the children in the schools. We will then be driven to our chosen point to continue our journey, usually Arusha.
