day one

Arrive in Tanzania

Welcome to Tanzania!

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 to take you to our first hotel at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Check into the woman-owned accommodations that directly benefit the local Masaai people.

day two

A Day with The MaaSai

Today offers a unique opportunity to experience Maasai culture through hands-on experiences hosted by the community that calls this region home.

Throughout the day, you'll participate in curated experiences alongside Maasai community members, including a walking safari through the surrounding landscape, crafting with Maasai women, and visiting a nearby school to learn more about daily life in the region. You'll even have the chance to try your hand at traditional spear throwing and gain insight into customs that have been passed down through generations.

As the day comes to a close, gather with the community for a traditional ceremonial dance, celebrating a day filled with connection, learning, and cultural exchange.

day three

City Life & Women Entrepreneurs


Say goodbye to the Maasai Lodge and the beautiful people you met there. Enjoy breakfast and 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 which is the largest in Africa.

Further Exploring Tanzania's Culture

Start your day with an easy cycling tour through banana plantations and local villages in Mto wa Mbu. After the brisk cycling tour, enjoy lunch at a local farm, visit elephant caves, and visit a local farming village. The evening is yours to relax back at the mountainside lodge. Enjoy dinner and drinks, visit the orphanage that the lodge directly supports, or simply lounge around after a long day of exploring.

day FIVE - Seven

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 20 kilometers across, 600 meters deep, and 300 sq kilometers 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.  You can spot lions, hippos, rhinos, zebra, flamingos, hyenas, and more.

Extend Your Trip

The Stunning Island of Zanzibar

Continue your adventure with an optional extension to the beautiful island of Zanzibar. After your safari, visit this stunning island where white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and a slower pace await.

Spend three nights at a boutique beachfront resort, enjoying time to relax while experiencing the island's unique blend of African, Arab, and Indian influences. During your stay, you'll also enjoy a locally guided cultural experience, such as sailing aboard a traditional dhow boat, meeting the inspiring women of Zanzibar's seaweed farming cooperatives, or visiting a nearby village to learn more about daily life on the island.
