Customizable Itinerary
Kilimanjaro Region – Relaxing Evening
The snow-capped summit of Mount Kilimanjaro guides your arrival into Tanzania, glistening in the fading sun as you touch down at Kilimanjaro International. Exiting the airport, you see another peak, the one of Mount Meru rising imposingly above the plains. Both mountains have lush, fertile slopes, a sharp contrast to the airport's surrounding grasslands that often crack in the dry season heat. You'll be greeted at the airport and transferred to a nearby lodge, where vervet monkeys jump through jackalberry trees, dik diks skip across the grounds, and the vast botanical-style gardens provide a peaceful sanctuary after the flight. Your accommodation is in a private cottage, surrounded by the chirping of exotic birds.
