Available activities vary with location, they can be inside or outside the parks, and may or may not need to be booked in advance.
Arusha National Park is considered to be the perfect starter for visitors to journey on to bigger game parks. But it also presents many opportunities to the traveler. It’s a 40 minute drive from the city of Arusha, about 60 kilometres from the international airport.
This area in Ngorongoro was originally inhabited by the Dorobo, hunters-gatherers who migrated down from the Lower Nile and were later subordinated to the Maasai.
A tour to Materuni Village and Waterfalls is a great way to spend a day away from the bustle of town life. The walk to Materuni Waterfall offers a glimpse into the nature of Tanzania allowing you either to prepare your body for the forthcoming climb to Kilimanjaro or ease your muscles after the climb.
Mto wa Mbu village consists of a number of tribes (120 tribes) whereby you can have the opportunity to learn different cultures as well as do different kinds of activities such as cooking lessons, visiting local schools at Mto wa Mbu and also you can have opportunities to visit local farms where bananas are planted, rice plantation etc.
The Park is named after the Tarangire River which runs through it. This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for wildlife in the region during the dry season.
