Day 1 – Kilimanjaro Airport – Arusha
Welcome to Tanzania, home of the classic African safari! Your adventure into the heart of the East African wilderness begins right here in Arusha. When your flight arrives at the Kilimanjaro International Airport, a friendly member of the Chalema Tanzania Safaris team will be there to welcome you. As you make the drive together to the Arusha Planet Lodge, you’ll learn more about what’s in store for you during your Tanzania safari and beach holiday. We’ll review your travel itinerary and answer any questions you have before getting you checked in at the lodge to enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure. Arusha Planet Lodge offers superior accommodations in rondavel-style rooms, pleasant hotel gardens, a first-rate restaurant, and a refreshing pool—for our money, there’s no better place to start your Tanzania safari. After dinner this evening, make sure to get plenty of rest; your African safari begins in earnest tomorrow.
