N'Giresi Village Visit (Near Arusha)

3 Hours

 

Travel into the foothills of Mount Meru and visit a local village of the Wa Arusha Tribe. The Wa Arusha, cousins of the Maasai, took roots and unlike the Maasai, are a farming community. Their crops include coffee and bananas and the visit to this community includes a visit to local homes, a church and school. You also have the chance to see some of the farming techniques and perhaps sample mbege, a local beer made from millet and bananas. The excursion includes transfers from your Arusha area lodge or hotel.

Hot Air balloon safari

Early Morning-Departs Before 0500

Bush Breakfast


Pre-dawn transfer to the balloon staging site. After a pre-flight briefing by the pilot, the crew inflates the balloon and at sunrise, the flight begins. Lasting about 50 minutes, the balloon silently glides over the wildlife, sometimes at tree top level and sometimes higher up to see the entire ecosystem. Upon landing, in the tradition of balloonists through the centuries, a champagne breakfast is served in the heart of the bush! After breakfast, there is a transfer to rejoin the safari group.
