“Now, being in Africa, I was hungry for more of it, the changes of the seasons, the rains with no need to travel, the discomforts that you paid to make it real, the names of the trees, of the small animals, and all the birds, to know the language and have time to be in it and to move slowly.” _ Ernest Hemingway’s, Green Hills of Africa.
Your adventure begins today as you enplane for Africa.
On your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, a representative from JABARI will pick you and whisk you off to Arusha where you will spend your night before embarking on your safari the following day.
Arusha also known as “A” Town by the locals, is situated at the foot of Mount Meru, Africa’s 5th highest mountain. The altitude gives the city a pleasant climate and lush green environment. Arusha is not a particularly attractive city in itself and is regarded by many visitors as little more than a necessary stopover before their safari starts in earnest. However, the natural charm of the Tanzanians and the buzz of a fast-growing city mean that Arusha has plenty to offer for those who are prepared to see beyond their air-conditioned safari jeeps and satellite-TV equipped hotel rooms. Check in will be at Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge where you will spend 1 night in a plantation room with an ensuite bathroom. Your stay will be on Bed & breakfast.
Lying on the gently rolling foothills that cascade down from the ever-present Mount Meru is the bustling and vibrant town of Arusha. It is here on the outskirts of this town, hidden amongst one of Tanzania’s largest coffee plantations, that you will find Arusha Coffee Lodge, a perfect haven for relaxation either before or after any East African safari. Comprising of 30 Plantation Houses that radiate out into the evergreen coffee fields, Arusha Coffee Lodge has been designed around the original landowner’s home that dates back to the 20th century. The theme of coffee permeates throughout Arusha Coffee Lodge, reflecting in the colors and textures of the delightfully comfortable accommodations with beautifully appointed en suite bathrooms.

On arrival a representative of ours from Tree tops will pick you from the airstrip and transfer you to your stay lodge. Check in at Tarangire Treetops which sits serenely on the border of the Tarangire National Park – Tanzania.

Located adjacent to the famous Ngorongoro conservation area and within a 1500-acre Arabica coffee estate, The Manor is reminiscent of an elegant up-country farm home in the Cape Dutch-style of architecture.
Every detail of The Manor has been designed with its guests’ comfort in mind. Each of the cottages has been carefully positioned to maximize the views of the adjacent verdant hills but at the same time to maintain the intimacy and privacy of this old-world Manor home. he Manor at Ngorongoro provides the perfect environment to relax and take in the outstanding natural beauty of its gardens and the coffee-bush laden hills. However, the drama that is Africa is but a short distance away.

This extinct volcano – with its 18-kilometre-wide crater floor – is home to an abundant and unique ecosystem that encompasses almost all of the wildlife that you would wish to see in Africa.
