Transport from and to airport Arusha

Zanzi Trekking and Safaris is indeed a reliable service provider that offers transportation to and from Kilimanjaro International Airport in Arusha, Tanzania. They specialize in organizing trekking expeditions and safaris in the region.

Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, a representative from Zanzi Trekking and Safaris will be waiting to greet you.

First and last night in a hotel

When planning a trip, it is common to arrange accommodation for the first and last nights of your stay in a hotel. Here’s some information about the importance of booking a hotel for these specific nights:

First Night in a Hotel: Booking a hotel for the first night of your trip is crucial for several reasons:

  1. Arrival convenience: After a long journey, having a hotel reservation ensures you have a comfortable place to rest and recover upon arrival at your destination.
  2. Orientation: Staying in a hotel allows you to familiarize yourself with the area, seek local information, and plan your itinerary for the rest of your stay.
  3. Safety and security: A reputable hotel offers a secure environment, providing peace of mind, especially when you are new to the destination.
  4. Accessibility: Choosing a hotel near transportation hubs or major attractions can save you time and effort, making it easier to explore the city or reach your next destination.

Last Night in a Hotel: Booking a hotel for the last night of your trip is equally important for several reasons:

  1. Convenience before departure: It ensures that you have a comfortable and convenient place to stay the night before your departure. This allows you to organize your belongings, get a good night’s sleep, and prepare for your journey home.
  2. Flexibility: If you have an early morning flight or transportation, staying in a hotel the night before ensures you won’t have to rush from a different location to catch your departure.
  3. Transition time: Having a hotel reservation for the last night gives you a buffer period to wind down, reflect on your trip, and take care of any last-minute tasks before returning home.
  4. Extended enjoyment: If your departure is later in the day, staying in a hotel allows you to maximize your time exploring the destination and enjoying local attractions before bidding farewell.

In summary, booking a hotel for the first and last nights of your trip provides convenience, comfort, safety, and flexibility, enhancing your overall travel experience. It is advisable to research and book accommodations in advance to secure the best options that meet your preferences and budget.

Early morning after having breakfast at your hotel in Arusha at around 0730hrs to 0800hrs you will be picked up by your personal driver guide and depart straight to Tarangire National Park whereby the drive is approximately 2.5 hours to the gate. Tarangire National Park is located on the northern part of Tanzania with a wide variety of animals and landscape whereby the best part is the elephant herds. It is known to be the park which has the greatest concentration of African elephants and the ancient baobab trees. Tarangire has an area of approximately 2603 square Kilometers and within the park it is possible to see plenty of animals like the giraffes, Zebras, Buffalos, warthogs, Lions, Leopards, Impala, gazelles, dik dik and many more species. In this park, there are more than 500 birds’ species like the bee eaters, swallows, ostriches, kori bustards, hammerkops, vultures etc. The word Tarangire comes from Mbugwe tribe whereby “Tara” means river and “Ngire” means warthogs therefore it is the river of warthogs. The Tarangire river is the life giving opportunity for both herbivores and carnivores and it is the best spot for the lions to hunt their prey as they search for water especially during the dry season. Lunch will be served at a picnic site at around 1200hrs to 1300hrs and after that you will proceed with your game drive until in the late afternoon where you will exit the park and drive straight to your luxury lodge in Karatu for relaxation, dinner and overnight.

Ngorongoro crater is a world heritage site as well as a geo-park. It is 600m deep and before you descend the crater you will stop at a view point where you can see the crater below. The Ngorongoro crater has approximately 25000 mammals and has more than 500 birds’ species where there are also migratory birds like the flamingos. The interesting part with Ngorongoro crater is that it is the best place in East Africa to witness the endangered black rhinos which completes the big 5. In Ngorongoro you can find animals like the Zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, lion prides, gazelles, impalas, kudus, waterbucks, buffalos and many more. The Ngorongoro crater has a diameter of approximately 20km whereby it is easy to spot animals and one can spend 5-6 hours exploring the park if you have a limited time. The other attraction in Ngorongoro crater is the Ngoitoktok picnic site which is a permanent hippo pool where most of the clients have their faboulous lunch at this place. The beauty of Ngorongoro can never be untold to the visitors who have visited this area. After having packed lunch at a picnic site at the hippo pool, you will finalize your game drive before you ascend the crater and drive straight to Arusha which is the end of your tour with us. If you would like to have an extra night in Arusha we can arrange that for you in advance or if you have a flight, we will drive you straight to the airport to catch your onwards flight back home or to your next destination.

Incredible experience made all the more special by Honest and his team We couldn’t endorse Honest and his team more. Immediately after meeting, we were made to feel extremely welcome, safe, and informed, which remained throughout the duration of our adventure.We first climbed Mount Meru where Honest took us to spots to see Giraffes in the wild as well as many monkeys, warthogs, and other animals. This served as the perfect preparation for Kilimanjaro.The team we had for Kili was exemplary. The whole time there was a real bond between the entire group. We’d regularly spend time beyond meal times talking with Honest and Justin about life and the adventure we were currently on which was extremely insightful. The food also far surpassed our expectations with exactly the type of fuel we needed such as pastas, fruits, eggs, etc. Our chef was called the “stomach engineer” for very appropriate reasons!Throughout the climb, Honest ensured we maintained an enjoyable tempo and there wasn’t a moment we felt too slow or rushed. The culmination of this was being fresh for summit morning and being the first team to summit, just as the sun was rising. With minor altitude sickness in the team on descent, Honest gave appropriate nutrition and instruction to manage the situation. Thereafter, there was a party atmosphere within the group, even having music and dancing on the last morning of the descent where we exchanged gifts and final stories.Overall, it was the trip of a lifetime made all the more special by Honest and his team. Perfectly prepared and executed that set us up for success. The relationship with Honest was tremendous, so much so that we are still in regular contact today and when a return trip is due, there are no hesitations in going straight to Zanzi Trekking and Safaris.
