Not every trip needs a week. These run out of Arusha or Moshi and have you back the same evening — a crater rim, a walking safari, a waterfall and a coffee roast. Good on their own, or bolted onto the start or end of a longer safari.
$450 / person
Descend into the crater with an expert guide for a day among lion, elephant, zebra, wildebeest and hippo, all of it inside one collapsed caldera with walls rising around you.
Live guide: English
$350 / person
Tanzania on foot. A guided walking safari through lush forest to waterfalls and the Ngurdoto Crater rim, then the flamingo-filled Momella Lakes, with Mount Meru behind you the whole way — all 30 to 60 minutes from Arusha.
Live guide: English, German, Italian, French, Spanish
$320 / person
A game drive through ancient baobabs and wildlife-rich plains, in a park known for its elephant herds — along with lion, giraffe and zebra on the river circuit.
Live guide: English
$260 / person
A short, gentle visit to a sanctuary near Kilimanjaro, where the animals are close enough to photograph, pet and feed — easy with small children and easy on a spare afternoon.
Live guide: English
$250 / person
A taste of the mountain without the summit — the first leg of the Marangu route up through rainforest to Mandara Hut, with a chance of colobus and blue monkeys, then back down the same day.
Live guide: English, French
$100 / person
Three things in one day: the hike in to Materuni Waterfalls, a Chagga coffee farm where you roast and grind your own, and an afternoon in the turquoise water at Chemka. Adventure, culture and a long swim — the easiest full day out of Arusha or Moshi.
Live guide: English, German, Italian, French, Spanish
$90 / person
A straight run out to the springs for a swim. Snorkel, take the rope swing, or just sit with your feet in the water for a fish pedicure, under fig trees with Kilimanjaro somewhere behind the haze.
Live guide: English
A first conversation takes about twenty minutes and costs nothing. You will speak with the person who designs the route, not a call centre.
