Day 1: Arrival at Kilimanjaro international airport
On your arrival day, we will pick you up from the airport and drive to the Farm, our starting point for the safari.
The 358-acre plantation and horse farm is nestled into the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The house and rooms are situated to take in spectacular views of this impressive mountain, Africa’s highest peak.
After arrival, we will introduce you to the horses and start on a ride so you can become familiar with horses, tack, and riding style.
For the non-riders, you can take your time to settle in your rooms or to stretch their legs on a relaxed walk.
Both, ride and walk, follow the boundary of the farm through plantations, bush, and grassland which is used for grazing horses and cattle.
In the evening you will receive a briefing on all details about the safari and riding in-game area.
Day 2: Riding in Arusha national park
After taking breakfast in the morning you will be transferred to Arusha National Park where you will depart on horseback.
Expect to see buffalo, zebra, giraffe, antelope, and more at the "Little Serengeti".
Often spoor and fresh smell will remind us of the close proximity of forest inhabitants and you will pass through breathtaking scenery with various glades and forests.
After a shortstop and a saddle picnic, you will continue towards Meru, passing the original home of the famous "White Huntress" Margarete Trappe.
We will find our mobile camp set up in the middle of the fantastic setting of this impressive mountain.
Enjoy a hot shower and delicious meal and go asleep with the stars that are visible from your pillow, and the night noises of Africa that are the background to your sleep.
Nothing brings the experience of Africa closer.
Day 3: Buffalo glades and fig tree arc
After morning breakfast you will head off to the buffalo glade where these massive animals can be watched excitingly close whilst they are grazing or resting.
Watch out for giraffes and antelope, also warthogs which feel most comfortable in close proximity to a buffalo herd.
You will be back at camp for lunch and a siesta, thereafter change horses for a vehicle and drive to the Momella lakes.
The first impressions are pink flamingo flocks shimmering from far away.
Hippos may be seen and there are good chances to watch other games near the water edge such as buffalo, giraffe, and also some smaller species.
The evening ride will lead us up the mountain through a “fairytale” forest with tree ferns and moss.
The “Fig Tree Arch”, is a well-known landmark of Arusha National Park, a natural feature created by assorted animals and birds.
A few meters further there is a breathtaking view over the West Kilimanjaro area and Mt. Kilimanjaro glowing in the evening sun.
Day 4: Departure at Kilimanjaro international airport.
