Not every trip needs a game drive. This package is for walkers, swimmers and anyone who likes their days green and their evenings unhurried. Materuni sits on the slopes of Kilimanjaro above Moshi: a village walk, a 70-metre waterfall and fresh coffee you roast yourself.
Lake Chala is a perfectly round crater lake on the Kenyan border, deep blue and very quiet. You walk down the rim, paddle a canoe and look for monkeys and birds in the trees. Every evening there is a three-course dinner waiting at the lodge.
