one perfect day

Day trips from Arusha

Waterfalls, hot springs, coffee farms and a hike in Arusha National Park, all back in time for dinner.

short on time

A full day out, close to base

Not every trip needs a week. Our day trips are a good way to fill a spare day before or after a climb or safari, or to see a little of northern Tanzania during a short stay in Arusha.

Swim at Chemka Hot Springs, hike to Materuni Waterfalls and learn about Chagga coffee, visit a coffee farm in Tengeru village, hike on Mount Meru in Arusha National Park, or meet wildlife up close on a Serval Wildlife day trip.

How we run these trips

Pick-up from your hotel

Most day trips start between 7:00 and 8:00 in the morning, with pick-up from your hotel in Arusha, and bring you back at the end of the day.

Easy to add to any trip

Day trips fit neatly around a Kilimanjaro climb or a safari: Materuni before the climb, Chemka after a safari, or Arusha National Park at the start of a longer trip.

Private or group

Most day trips can be arranged as private tours for couples, families or small groups, with a dedicated guide and a pace that suits you.
