Excursion

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

At almost four and half times the height of the UK’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro is scenically incredible and seriously impressive. Although a trek to the top of the mountain (5895 meters above sea level) doesn’t involve any technical skill, the high altitude makes this a serious undertaking. You will need to allow 6-8 nights on the mountain, with the longer duration providing the higher success rates. The longer excursion will allow you to acclimatise to the mountain’s altitude, with accommodation en route consisting of tented rooms with varying degrees of home comforts available. It is worth noting that there are no permanent camps on the mountain so, everything is carried up and down by porters and is relatively basic; if camping is not your thing then this experience may not be for you! There are several routes up the mountain to consider, each with various pros and cons dependent upon the time of year of your climb. The other element to consider is the cost involved; to climb the mountain properly and comfortably you will need an average of 4+ porters per person (more with a smaller group), as well as a head guide and further support crew. As a result, this is a relatively costly undertaking and it is also advisable to take part in a minimum of 3 months training in preparation for your climb. All of those points aside, a trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro certainly ranks as being one of the greatest outdoor challenges on the planet and, for those with the dedication, an experience of a lifetime.

Half Day Craft & Curio Shopping

For those with a few hours to spare in Arusha, there are some great opportunities to shop for local artisan crafts and curios. We will arrange for a driver and vehicle to be at your disposal and your driver will happily take you to wherever suits your interests. There are some fantastic local initiatives empowering the local community through training and employment. These worthwhile enterprises produce high quality unique jewellery, glassware and homeware. In addition to being able to browse the giftshop, it’s also possible to arrange a workshop tour and even try your hand at some craftwork. The Arusha Cultural Heritage Centre hosts an array of small shops and stalls selling artwork, carvings and crafts from all over East Africa; while The Tanzanite Experience centre is the place to learn about Tanzania’s precious stone and buy from a reputable source. If you prefer a less formal setting for curio shopping, then the local bustling and colourful Masai market is crammed full of art and crafts and you can practice your bartering skills!
