Mbokomu School is a short walk up the road and it is from here that you will have the opportunity to work alongside the local school and community. On arrival in camp there will be a welcome and safety brief followed by a visit by the local dancers in the evening, a vivid introduction into real African culture. Overnight Camp Mbokomu.
  • Day 3 — Camp Mbokomu is situated on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro and approximately 45 minutes away from one of the most breathtaking waterfalls in this part of the world.

  • Day 4 — Visit to the colourful and vibrant local market in Moshi Town and experience the true culture of the predominant tribe in the area, the Chagga tribe. Selling everything from their famous Arabica coffee to the beautiful sarongs and wood carvings, spend the day wandering among all the hustle and bustle of African city life. Overnight Camp Mbokomu.
  • Days 5 - 7 — Transfer to Ndarakwai set amongst immense fig, and yellow-barked acacias in the dry savannah rangeland of West Kilimanjaro. You will be accommodated in Dome tents and the camp is run on lanterns and electricity from a generator. The ranch serves as a refuge and safe passage for wildlife migrating between the famous Amboseli and Arusha National Parks so from here you will get to go on game drives, help with wildlife conservation programmes and ranch maintenance, as well as have the opportunity to interact with and visit the neighbouring Masai community.
