We will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha at 8:00am and take you to a very special safari park in Tanzania. Tarangire is famous for its diverse landscape with nine different vegetation zones. The Tarangire safari park is particularly known for the abundance of ancient baobab trees (the largest trees on the continent), which fill the landscape and dwarf the animals next to them. The river in the park is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and, of course, African elephants. In fact, Tarangire has the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. In the afternoon we will still do a game drive before continuing to your accommodation.

You will begin your adventure after breakfast in your hotel and drive to Materuni Waterfall close to the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. Once you get to the village, you will begin with a walking tour to the Materuni waterfall. On the way you will see a lot of chameleons and many types of trees, birds, insects, and fruits, and later you will reach the waterfall, and the waterfall flows water from Kilimanjaro forest and is fresh water, and if you need to swim, you can swim (don’t forget your swim clothes). Later, walking back to the village for a coffee tour and hot lunch from the local food of the Chagga people, once you finish, you will leave the village and proceed to Chemka hot spring. Once you get there, you will swim inside the natural spring, which is warm on one side and cold on another side with small fish inside, and the place is surrounded with fig trees. Enjoy swimming. Later we will drive to Arusha to your accommodation area or airport for drop-off.

Karen Scott –
We have just returned from our 4-day safari, a trip of a lifetime guided by JACKON! It was Incredible! From first meeting Jackson, we knew our week of adventures was going to be amazing. He is so personable, kind, and patient, and so knowledgeable and cared only about providing us with the best experience! Jackson’s knowledge of the animals and the landscapes we travelled is vast; we experienced elephants and giraffes and zebras and wildebeests, and my husband’s favourites, the cats up close! So many animals and birds, my husband, a photographer was in his glory! Jackson provided delicious lunches each day and the Land Cruiser was stocked with water and alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages.
We have already shared with our friends the experience Ernest Magic Tours & Safaris provided; it was an unforgettable experience and we hope to return again, We will not hesitate and will look forward to seeing our ‘friend’ Jackson again😊
