Day 01

From Moshi/Arusha to Monduli Juu and Maasai Cultural Encounters

  • We leave Moshi/Arusha after filling our tummies with a full breakfast and take the Serengeti road for an exciting and interesting drive through Monduli town to Monduli Juu, a combination of small villages nestled in the northern part of the town.
  • Pass through the villages, which are filled with Maasai culture, where the Maasai people are more than willing to share their preserved traditions with visitors.
  • You will learn more about their culture, their local medicines, and how they collect, prepare, and use them in their traditional bomas (Manyata). Participate in their dance called Adumu and gain more in-depth knowledge of how they survive their daily lives as nomads.
  • At noontime, we will set up our temporary home at the Osero campsite and get some rest as we prepare for the next day's ascent to Monduli Mountain.

Day 02

Trek from Monduli Juu to Namaratu

  • We will have an early start with a tasty breakfast in the beautiful African surroundings and thereafter decide on a full-day or half-day hike to Monduli Mountain. The shorter hike is a splendid 3-hour walk covering 9 km, following the same path as the longer hike but excluding the hustle of reaching the peak. The full-day hike is an 8-hour strenuous trek covering 18 km that leads to the eastern peak of the Monduli Mountains. The longer hike is beautiful but more challenging, passing through thorn scrub and cattle country.
  • The shorter hike is more appropriate for photographers and artists; however, whether you choose the long or short route, a hike to Monduli Mountain will open your eyes to the beautiful nature.

Dinner will be offered at the Namaratu campsite, and we suggest an early rest as there will be more trekking the next day.

Day 03

Scenic Walk to Jackson Campsite

  • You will get a perfect view of the Roof of Africa and Mount Meru. This walk will also be a great opportunity to learn about the geography of Tanzania.
  • We will retire to Jackson Campsite for a night's rest and dinner.

Day 04
