What to expect

Day 1: Day 1 - Longido Walking Safari
  1. Longido
    12h
    The small community of Longido sits in the shadow of Longido Mountain, in a wilderness area dotted with Maasai Bomas.
    Your experience will start with a walking safari, led by a local guide, through the open landscapes of Longido.
    Morning walking safaris offer the best chance to spot giraffes, zebras and gazelles that freely move about the area. You will enjoy exploring the area and identifying animal tracks as the sun gets higher and the day grows warmer.

    There is an optional 45-min walk to a seasonal waterfall, if you are feeling adventurous. Please note, the waterfall may be absent during dry seasons.
  2. 3h · Admission ticket included
    Option to visit a local Maasai Community (near the Secondary School) and learn about the traditional culture of the Maasai people, beading, cooking, and herding animals.
Day 2: Longido - Hike Longido Mountain
  1. Longido
    8h
    We recommend having an early start this day, with breakfast at 6:00 am.

    After breakfast, meet with your local mountain guide and drive to the trailhead. Begin hiking over large boulders and rocky terrain, and slowly move further into the forest. Ask for any rest stops along the way, as needed. Be sure to drink plenty of water and pause for lunch to take in the view. By late morning, you may have passed through the forest areas and entered into moorlands.

    The most thrilling part of this mountain climb is reaching the rocky summit, which requires no technical skills or training, but is an adrenaline-rush, all the same.

    After a much deserved rest and photos at the top, descend back to your guesthouse or camping area. Then drive back to your Arusha accommodations.
  2. Arusha
    30m
    For the conclusion of this tour, your driver-guide will drop you back off at the original meeting point, or other Arusha-area location or accommodation.

    We will help you unload all your luggage and say good-bye.

    Please note: this final day of the tour, accommodation is not included.
