OR:- our ALL INCLUSIVE african safari holiday includes the following

You can book in units of 1 week (7 nights) and each week includes...

• one day is usually taken for arrival and departure with enough time for you to relax in our extremely beautiful scenery! Depending on time available you can also go for walks. Either way the feeling of African serenity and the beauty of our landscape will enthrall you and make you ready for your dream holiday.
• For 7 days we offer you full board in beautiful en-suite bungalows. Our traditional, palm thatched open restaurant offers the opportunity to eat (3 meals a day) and simultaneously soak in the glorious views of the beautiful african Rift Valley stretching out below us.
• Beverages & bottled mineral water are served with all meals. Alcoholic drinks are available but must be paid extra.
• Your six full days with us offer the following fully inclusive african safari experiences...
• Two full day wildlife african safari trips (picnic lunch) to the world famous National Parks of Tanzania such as Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire National Park and (by special arrangement at certain times of the year and a small charge) Serengeti.
• Two full day culture african safari trips (picnic lunch). These are not typical tourist traps but a unique chance to experience how the maasai, mbulu and other tribes live in their own villages. Trips to their markets are also included but the most amazing times will be spent with those people in their villages and homes!
• Two days in which you can choose a combination of any of the following:-
• As much or as little relaxation in and around our lodge as you wish. The privacy of your own terrace overlooking the rift valley, or lounging with other people at our bar terrace playing african traditional games or reading.
• Walks Galore! Adventurous or gentle strolls - all is possible: on some walks you will be accompanied by a maasai warrior in traditional clothing and on other walks, closer to our village you will be acompanied by a local villager.
• Visit our local town Mto Wa Mbu (Motowoombu), its friendly and gentle folk will greet you and you can experience every day Tanzania full of colour and interest!
• Birding, Tree and Nature enthusiasts have plenty to see in and aroung our lodge, or go out further into the country.
• ADVENTURE! if thats what you want then go off on a long walking safari into the savannah or the mountains on the far side of the valley - maasai guided walks. Foot safaris can be arranged but with a small additional charge for the guides.
• Your Flights are NOT included in our otherwise fully inclusive african safari holiday. Alcoholic dinks are also excluded.
• Free airport shuttle (to and from MVCC and Kilimanjaro Airport, or Arusha Town) is included.
• Tanzania is a safe country (although any African city has its dangers, you will not spend any time in the large city of Dar Es Saalam). Tanzanian people are humble and gentle. In spite of poverty they are happy and will greet visitors with open arms - what little they have, they share.
• Africa offers many safari locations but few are so world wide renowned and easily reached as ours...
• Lake Manyara National Park is just 20 minutes away from us and can be seen from our Lodge. Ernest Hemingway wrote that Lake Manyara is the most beautiful place in Africa. You will agree! And expect to see lion, hippo, elephant, leopard, buffalo, gnu, various primates and gazelles and much more.
• Tarangire National Park can be seen across the Lake from our lodge and is a ninety minute drive away.
• In 60 minutes you can be standing at the entrance to Ngorongoro Crater, driving through what many people believe is rain forest. It is actually ground water forest and it stretches from the entrance up to the outer rim of the crater. On the rim you have a most wonderful panoramic view and the prospect of a full day of adventurous wildlife tracking! Be ready for rhinos, lions, elephants, hippos, hyenas, large herds of gnus and zebra and much more!
• And let's not forget our reason for offering you a dream african safari holiday: net profits of each year's business will go to Tanzanian Aid Projects, helping people to stay in the rural regions by providing better education and opportunities to work.
