Day 1 - Longido Walking Safari

Longido - Nestled in the shadow of Longido Mountain, this quaint community is surrounded by a wilderness area dotted with Maasai Bomas. Begin your adventure with a walking safari, guided by a local expert, through the expansive landscapes of Longido. Morning safaris provide the best opportunity to observe giraffes, zebras, and gazelles roaming freely. Enjoy exploring the area and identifying animal tracks as the sun rises and the day warms.

For those feeling adventurous, there is an optional 45-minute walk to a seasonal waterfall. Please be aware that the waterfall may not be present during dry seasons.

Longido Secondary School - You have the option to visit a nearby Maasai Community (close to the Secondary School) to learn about the traditional Maasai culture, including beading, cooking, and animal herding.

Longido - Hike Longido Mountain

Longido - An early start is recommended, with breakfast at 6:00 am.

After breakfast, meet your local mountain guide and drive to the trailhead. Begin your hike over large boulders and rocky terrain, gradually moving deeper into the forest. Feel free to request rest stops as needed. Ensure you stay hydrated and take a break for lunch to enjoy the view. By late morning, you may have transitioned from forest areas to moorlands.

The most exhilarating part of this climb is reaching the rocky summit, which requires no technical skills or training, yet provides an adrenaline rush.

After a well-deserved rest and photos at the summit, descend back to your guesthouse or camping area. Then, drive back to your accommodations in Arusha.

Arusha - To conclude this tour, your driver-guide will return you to the original meeting point or another location or accommodation in the Arusha area.

Assistance will be provided to unload your luggage, and farewells will be exchanged.

Please note: Accommodation is not included on this final day of the tour.
