Meet Sada

Each of our trips is designed with a mission to empower women in the destination we visit. In Tanzania, our trip directly supports our local non-profit partner Unite Africa in supporting their mission to offer education to women who otherwise would not have the opportunity.

 

Meet Sada

Disclaimer: The following story includes references to forced child marriage, which may be triggering to some readers.

Sada is one of the young Tanzanian women supported by our trip. She was born in 2008 and is the fourth of six children in her family. They live in the rural village of Mkolani in northwest Tanzania, where her parents are small-scale rice farmers. The family lives in extreme poverty, often struggling to afford enough food or basic supplies like soap and sanitary products.

Sada has always excelled in school. In fact, during her primary education she was ranked the top student in her entire region. In 2020, she was selected to attend a prestigious government secondary school in the capital city of Dodoma. There, she took on leadership roles in several clubs focused on health education and environmental conservation, and was elected Environmental Prefect and Class Monitress by her peers.

Despite her academic success, Sada has faced immense challenges. Her Sukuma tribe does not believe in educating girls, and when she was just 14, she was nearly forced into marriage during a school break. Sada courageously resisted, choosing instead to continue her education. With no financial support from her family, she often stayed behind at school when others went home, relying on friends and teachers to help meet her most basic needs.


A portion of proceeds from your trip will directly support Sada’s education fund. If you’re interested in an additional donation, you can support Sada’s education funds through the 501c3 nonprofit Unite the World with Africa Foundation, Inc.

IMMERSIVE ADVENTURER

Day One (March 4)

Arrive in Africa
Fly into Mt. Kilimanjaro to start your Tanzanian safari vacation. Don't stress about a thing upon your arrival at the airport: Cherish handles all of the details and will pick you up. We’ll head to our first hotel at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro. You’ll check into the woman-owned accommodations that directly benefit the local Masaai people, and connect with your fellow female travelers during your first evening in Tanzania before resting up for your big adventure.

Day Two (March 5)

Immersive Experience with the Maasai

Learn about the Masaai culture through hands-on experiences at the lodge. The lodge you are staying at is fully operated and run by local Masaai people. Enjoy a full day with curated experiences alongside the Masaai, including taking a walking safari, crafting with Masaai women and visiting a nearby school. You’ll even try your hand at spear throwing, and end the day with a traditional ceremonial dance.

Day Three (March 6)

City Life in Tanzania

Say goodbye to the Maasai Lodge and the beautiful locals you met while visiting. After we enjoy breakfast, we’ll head out for a short drive into one of Tanzania's largest cities, Arusha. Today, you will have the opportunity to learn more about Tanzania city-life and see a big city firsthand. Visit a local market for shopping, go to an art center that employs disabled people, and visit Arusha Cultural Heritage Centre (the largest in all of Africa).

Day Four (March 7)

Tanzanian Culture

Today, you’ll have the opportunity to choose your own adventure. Hike through the Ngorongoro conservation area to elephant caves and a stunning waterfall, choose to explore farm life, or simply relax at the gorgeous farm. Afterwards, enjoy a gorgeous buffet lunch at a local farm. The evening is yours to relax at the mountainside lodge where we’ll stay. 

Day Five (March 8)

Safari Game Drive in the Ngorongoro Crater

Today is a special day – you will descend to the amazing Ngorongoro Crater. Ngorongoro is a deep, volcanic crater, the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. About 12 miles across, 600 meters deep and 115 square miles in area, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder. The crater walls provide a natural fence for a heavy concentration of wildlife on the ground floor. Nature is never a guarantee, but we’ll keep our eyes out for lions, hippos, rhinos, zebras, flamingos, hyenas and more.

Day Six-Eight (March 8-11)

Searching for the Big Five

After exploring Ngorongoro and the surrounding areas, our safari continues in Ndutu & the Serengeti. We’ll take a stunning drive to the Ndutu Region of Tanzania. Your local guide will know the best places to track down and spot wildlife. The group will spend the next few days exploring Ndutu and the Serengeti. Let's see if you can find all of Africa's Big Five!

Extend Your Trip (March 11-14)

Visit Zanzibar (Optional Add-On)

Extend your Tanzanian adventure with an idyllic island escape to Zanzibar. Relax on pristine beaches, snorkel vibrant coral reefs and immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of this enchanting destination. Whether you want to visit the spice-scented streets of Zanzibar or choose to meet the famous Seaweed Women, this island extension promises blissful relaxation after a busy safari experience.
