Itinerary day by day
Day 1: Arusha
- Arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport where we’ll fast track you through arrival procedures
- VIP transfer to Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge
- Shanga cultural experience optional depending on arrival time
- Accommodation: Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge
There’s a palpable buzz as you approach Kilimanjaro Airport: Africa’s highest mountain looms large outside.
Once on the ground and whisked to your home for the night however, the buzz comes from the bushes: Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge sits in the foothills of Mount Meru, its suites sprinkled amid one of Tanzania’s largest working plantations. Retreat to your stylish room amid the bean laden bushes, breathe in the heady java scent, dine in the glorious gardens and unwind in the spa. Soothing in the extreme, this is the perfect pre safari stay.
Day 2:Arusha & Tarangire
- Breakfast at Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge

Tarangire is the unexpected awesome; the connoisseur’s choice. More than 3,000 elephants one of the largest populations in East Africa reside here while the swamps host 550 species of bird. During the dry season, the perennial Tarangire River becomes the sole water source for a marvellous menagerie: all you need do is sit on its banks and let the wildlife come to you.That said, the diversity of this ecosystem ensures wildlifeviewing is exceptional year round. And it begins as soon as you touch down at Tarangire’s airstrip the onward journey to your lodge, via bulbous baobabs and grassy plains, is a game drive, not a transfer. By the time you reach Treetops, you’ll already have spotted a host of species.
The magic continues: in a private conservancy bordering the national park, Elewana Treetops is like something from a fairytale, a scatter of suites teetering amongst the branches of the baobab and marula trees. From your elegant eyrie you can look out, uninterrupted, over the sweeping plains, though you’ll want to come down now and then: to walk out with the Maasai for intimate bush encounters; to join night drives to see the action after dark; to relax in the lounge bar, watching over the waterhole below; and to sit on Sunset Hill
