2 Day Uru Culture and Safari Experience

The 2 Day Uru Culture and Safari Experience combines a cultural experience in Uru village near Moshi with a wildlife safari in Tarangire National Park.

The first day introduces travellers to village life, coffee and banana farms, Chagga culture, local food, farming traditions and the landscapes of the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.

The second day continues into Tarangire National Park, where travellers explore by 4×4 safari vehicle with opportunities to observe elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, African buffalo, antelope, warthogs, baboons, lions and varied birdlife.

This itinerary works well for travellers who want to experience both culture and wildlife without needing a long multi day safari.

Uru provides a quieter cultural setting where visitors can learn about agriculture, village livelihoods and the relationship between local communities and the fertile Kilimanjaro environment.

The exact cultural program depends on the participating hosts, season, weather and local activities available on the day.

Wildlife in Tarangire remains free roaming and specific sightings cannot be guaranteed.

The 2 Day Uru Culture and Safari Experience can be arranged privately and can also be adapted before or after a Mount Kilimanjaro climb.
