A guide from Ruah River Lodge will meet you and game-drive you through this very different park, arriving at the camp for lunch. Settle in here and enjoy views overlooking the great Ruah River and elephants coming down to drink enjoy your time with a beer, before going on an afternoon game drive, exploring the sandy riverbeds looking for elephants as they dig for water or leopards hiding in the rocky kopjes.
After an early breakfast, descend down the crater for about 6-7 hours with a picnic lunch. This is the perfect time to explore the floor of the crater with great scenery. This is the only place where animals and people (the Maasai people) live together. After lunch, you will drive back to Arusha for dinner and your overnight stay at Ambassador Hotel.
Have an early breakfast, then we will depart at around 7:30 am from your hotel to the shuttle station for a shuttle to Nairobi via Namanga. You will arrive in Nairobi in the afternoon and there you will continue with your journey to the airport or to your next destination. NOTE: The shuttle can drop you straight at Jomo Kenyatta Airport in case you don’t have anything to do in Nairobi town or maybe time is not enough to go to the city center and back to the airport later. Let us know this in time of booking. You can also opt to fly from Kilimanjaro Airport instead of Nairobi. This way you don’t have to drive again back to Nairobi. We have plenty of international flights from Kilimanjaro, so please check the best option for you.
Our 4-wheel drive safari vehicles offer comfortable places to five people in the rear and one person in front with the driver. So we can take up to 6 people on a safari. If your group has more people we will schedule additional vehicles.
Balance payment can be done in either cash USD or credit card (Visa – MasterCard – American Express). With credit card payments, there is a 5 % surcharge. The best is still to bring cash in USD. You’ll get the best exchange rates for 50 and 100 USD notes. Also make sure not to bring USD notes older than 1990, as these are not accepted anymore in Tanzania.
Yes, for both Tanzania and Kenya, you can get a visa on arrival at the airport or at the Namanga border.
Once we agreed on a certain itinerary and the price, you will be asked to make a down payment to our bank account. Your booking will be confirmed upon receipt of this deposit, and we’ll send you a confirmation e-mail. We shall then also proceed to make the necessary reservations. The remaining balance is to be paid in cash upon arrival in Tanzania. If you would prefer not to travel with Cash money, you can also pay the balance in our bank account. The balance has then to be paid to our account 45 days before the start of the itinerary (Bank transfer takes around 5 working days). More read our TERMS AND CONDITION.
