For travellers who want to stay in one place and still see the best of northern Tanzania. Five nights at Katiti, four guided days out and a little time to breathe in between — no packing and unpacking, no long transfers, the same quiet garden to come home to every evening.

You spend a day with giraffes and buffalo in Arusha National Park, walk the rainforest of Kilimanjaro to Mandara Hut, are welcomed into a Maasai boma, and canoe on Lake Chala. Dinner is served every night, and our team plans the days around the weather and your energy.

How the days go

A suggestion — you choose the day for each outing while booking, and we can move things around for the weather.

    Giraffes, buffalo, black-and-white colobus and pink flamingos on the Momella Lakes — a full day of game viewing under Mount Meru, thirty minutes from the lodge. 07:30 at the lodge.

  3. Day 3

    Mount Kilimanjaro Day Hike (Marangu Route)
