3 Day Uru Village and Wildlife Safari
The 3 Day Uru Village and Wildlife Safari combines an immersive cultural experience in Uru village near Moshi with wildlife safaris in Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.
The first day introduces travellers to life on the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro through village walking, Chagga cultural stories, coffee farming, banana cultivation, household gardens, local food and everyday community activities.
Day 2 moves from the cultivated Kilimanjaro foothills into Tarangire National Park, where travellers may see elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, African buffalo, antelope, lions, warthogs, baboons and varied birdlife.
Day 3 continues to Ngorongoro Crater for another guided 4×4 game drive with opportunities to observe wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, lions, spotted hyenas, hippos, elephants, gazelles and possible black rhino.
The itinerary is designed for travellers who want both community culture and wildlife rather than spending the entire trip inside safari parks.
The Uru cultural program remains flexible because farm activities, coffee harvesting and village routines depend on season and the participating hosts.
Wildlife also remains free roaming, so particular animal sightings cannot be guaranteed.
The 3 Day Uru Village and Wildlife Safari can be arranged privately and works well before or after a Mount Kilimanjaro climb.
