Day Trip Arusha

Day Trip Arusha: Our popular day trip to get to know the Tanzanian culture, locals and indulge your palate! You will be picked up from your hotel in the morning and taken to the famous heritage centre where you can learn more about Tanzania’s 120 tribes, past and present. The centre has a private collection of artwork, carvings, artefacts and precious stones.

We continue to Shanga, one of Tanzania’s most heart-warming success stories. Shanga opened in 2007 and was established to support and empower Tanzanians marginalised by their disability by providing them with an open and safe environment in which to fulfil their potential. Shanga now employs over 42 people with disabilities and uses recycled materials to create beautiful products made with love. Here you will enjoy a workshop with the employees of Shanga.

Ater it will be time for lunch and you can choose two options:

For those craving relaxation:

1) Enjoy a fabulous lunch at Shanga’s Riverhouse Restaurant, where you will be served fresh juice or champagne on arrival, followed by a delicious 4-course lunch in the Garden Pagoda.

For the adventurous:

2) Mingle with the locals as you enjoy Tanzania’s famous Nyama Choma in one of Arusha’s many pubs! Nyama is Kiswahili for meat and choma means grilled and you will be served lots of grilled meat and some bananas too.

After lunch we visit the Maasai Craft Market where you can interact with the locals and buy some souvenirs. Note: You will have to be a tough (sales) handler here! Your tour ends in the afternoon with arrival at your hotel in Arusha.
