We will start the trip in Arusha. Arusha, nestled halfway between Cairo and Cape Town, is known for its intriguing culture with a population of over 100 nationalities and is Tanzania’s Safari capital. It is also known for its famous Mt. Kilimanjaro mountain. Culturally, Arusha is known for its Central Market (shopping), exciting food scene, cafe culture and interesting museums.
Bagamoyo is a coastal town in Tanzania with a population of 83,000 that sits near the Indian ocean across from Zanzibar. Bagamoyo was once one of the most important trading ports on the East African Coast. Bagamoyo is where the AOU team will host our annual community event. This event will be an immersive day of parent trainings and interactive therapeutic stations for the children.
Mount Kilimanjaro National park is located in Tanzania, south of the border of Kenya and accessible through Arusha. Mount Kilimanjaro, along with its three volcanic cones, “Mawenzi”, “Kibo” and “Shira” is a dormant volcano mountain.
Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the seven summits and the highest freestanding mountain in the world. Mount Kilimanjaro National Park is also a great wildlife viewing destination for local Cape Buffaloes, African bush elephants, Grey duikers, Tree hyrax, blue monkeys and other wildlife.
This Ngorongoro Crater Day Trip from Arusha lets you get the most out of the area with a guide who takes you all around to see the wildlife, including zebras, lions, and wildebeest.
