Arusha

Most travellers pass through Arusha in an hour. Give it a morning and you get coffee farms on the slopes of Mount Meru, a working market, and the chance to meet the team planning your trip.

A good first day

After a long flight we suggest a slow start: a highland coffee morning, lunch under the trees, and a briefing with your guide before the parks begin the next day.

Our office

We are at Mrombo Darajani, and visitors are welcome. Itineraries are drawn here, by hand, by people who have driven every road on them.
