Description

Arusha National Park, set beneath Mount Meru, offers a serene wilderness of misty forests, sparkling lakes, and ancient craters. Its beauty comes from the delicate blend of flora and fauna, with giraffes roaming the highlands and flamingos lining the Momella Lakes. The park provides a more intimate, personal safari experience compared to the larger savannahs of the Serengeti, and each trail through this captivating landscape invites reflection and connection with the earth.

Itinerary

Embark on an unforgettable seven-night mobile horse safari in northern Tanzania's untouched wilderness. Ride through Mount Meru’s foothills and the expansive Masai Steppe beneath the towering Kilimanjaro. Encounter buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and, with luck, elephants, cheetahs, and lions. Your days will be filled with exhilarating rides across plains and woodlands, while nights in private mobile camps offer the ultimate escape under Africa’s star-studded sky. A journey that celebrates freedom, nature, and African beauty, this safari offers both adventure and serenity from the saddle.

Wildlife Management Area

This area offers diverse terrains, including open savannah, acacia woodlands, dry lakebeds, and seasonal floodplains. It’s a prime location for wildlife sightings, with abundant species like gazelles, zebras, and wildebeest. As you ride across plains where elephants roam, you'll feel the pulse of the land, alive with migration routes and teeming wildlife. Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru, and Mount Longido stand tall in the distance, offering a breathtaking backdrop. Each landscape feels timeless and expansive, allowing for the ultimate horseback adventure.

Arrive in the afternoon and enjoy a warm welcome at the lodge. Relax in the tranquility of the surroundings—by the pool or on the veranda—soaking in the peaceful atmosphere of the African bush. As sunset approaches, your guide will join you for sundowners and share insights into the adventure ahead. If there’s a polo match, you may even enjoy the sport in a serene setting. Afterward, a delicious dinner awaits at the lodge, followed by a light safari briefing to prepare for the days ahead.

Start the day with breakfast and a scenic 30-minute drive to the park’s edge, where your safari horses await. Your journey begins with a ride alongside buffalo, giraffes, and other wildlife along narrow game trails. As you explore forests and open glades, the land and its creatures greet you. Stop for lunch under the shade of a tree, then continue your afternoon ride through the peaceful wilderness. Arrive at your mobile camp, enjoy sundowners, and share a delicious dinner under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the bush.

Awaken to the calls of colobus monkeys and mount your horse for a ride through the landscape of "Hatari!" fame. Follow in the footsteps of the legendary Margaret Trappe as you explore the wild terrain. Along the way, you’ll spot giraffes, bushbucks, and even elusive dik-diks. After a relaxing lunch, climb into a safari jeep for a game drive to Lake Momella, where flamingos paint the shoreline and hippos bask in the sun. A sundowner by the lake provides a moment of peace before returning to camp for a cozy evening.

After breakfast, take a scenic drive through Tanzania’s countryside to a new destination where your horses await. Ride across the Masai Steppe, encountering gazelles, zebras, and wildebeest. Though the land may be rocky at first, the terrain softens for faster gallops later in the day. Enjoy a long lunch beneath a shady tree before continuing through Masai country, reaching a campsite with stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro and other iconic peaks. As the sun sets, take in the beauty of the landscape, knowing this day has been filled with unforgettable moments.

After breakfast, set off towards the mysterious Seven Sisters. As you ride, cross vast floodplains and encounter Maasai bomas. Today, you enter prime elephant territory, where sightings of these majestic creatures are possible. Ride alongside Maasai warriors, whose presence connects you to the land’s deep cultural history. Pause for lunch and rest under a tree before galloping across dried lakebeds in the afternoon. As the day ends, settle into a new campsite with breathtaking views of Kilimanjaro, Meru, and Longido—an unforgettable end to a thrilling day.

At first light, enjoy the peaceful morning as your steward delivers hot water to your basin. After breakfast, ride into the wilderness, where chances of spotting elephants, cheetahs, and hyenas are high. The terrain rolls with hills, inviting you to pick up the pace and connect with the land. After returning to camp for lunch and a peaceful break, ride out again, bathing in the golden light of the African sunset. A delicious three-course dinner is served under the stars, filled with stories, laughter, and the magic of the wild.

After breakfast, mount your horse for a ride to a traditional Maasai boma. Experience the rich culture of the Maasai people as you observe their daily life, and perhaps even try their traditional goat milk and blood drink. Afterward, return to camp for lunch and rest before your final ride. This last journey isn’t about distance but about feeling the wind in your hair and the freedom of the open land. The day ends with a farewell feast under the stars, celebrating the bonds created throughout this unforgettable safari.

After a final breakfast in camp, it’s time to leave the bush behind. Climb into safari vehicles for the journey to Kilimanjaro International Airport. The three-hour drive offers time to reflect on your adventure, surrounded by the stunning landscape that has become part of your soul. By mid-morning, you’ll arrive at the airport, ready for your onward flight. Though the journey has come to an end, the memories of this wild, magical adventure will stay with you forever. Until you return, the spirit of Africa will continue to call​.
