Program Details
Pickup from the airport or any other destination and transfer to Planet lodge in Arusha city. Delivery of a short safari briefing by the guide. Check-in the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.
This is the day you drive from Arusha to the wonderful town of Mto wa Mbu, located on the foot of the Great Rift Valley.
We will start by exploring enormous banana plantations with different types (green, yellow, and red) which can be eaten as fruits or cooked food. The walk through the plantations is thrilling as banana trees provide shade and fresh air as you walk.
We proceed with the walk upwards toward the wall of the Great Rift Valley. Along the way, we will spot unique trees including fig and baobab trees(one baobab tree is said to be more than 1000 years old). The experience at the top is exhilarating as you get to see the whole view of Mto wa Mbu town and lake Manyara.
We then make our way back to the village for a hot lunch, where you get to eat different traditional dishes served in local pots. This is a great time to connect with the people and learn a thing or two about their lifestyle and customs. You also get a chance to see their handmade work including paintings, carvings, and jewelry.
In the late afternoon, we make our way back to Manyara Wildlife lodge and call it a day!
