DAY 1 : Arusha City - West Kilimanjaro


You will be picked up from your lodge at this exotic place getting to learn about the Maasai and their way of living.

You will dive right into the authentic life with the Maasai, but before going out for the activities, you will enjoy some freshly prepared lunch. Have a cup of coffee or tea and take your time to settle down at the lodge soaking up the atmosphere.

In the afternoon, you compete against the Maasai in a spear throwing competition. Try to beat your rivals while getting taught by experienced Maasai. It looks very easy to throw a spear towards an imaginary lion. However, it takes a great amount of skills to actually hit one.

An herbalist will accompany you on a serene walk through the hills of the surrounding area and will introduce you to the Maasai's medicinal plants. It will be a relaxing change to the athletic event.

After an eventful day, enjoy a sundowner on the veranda at the health spa or on one of the surrounding hills. Stand in awe when the sun sets over Kilimanjaro and become one with nature, just like Hemingway described it a not so long ago. An exclusive dinner in our restaurant is ready to be served afterwards.

On day two, you will have a breakfast at the lodge before setting off to visit the Maasai Vision English Primary School. At the school you will have the unique possibility to get in touch with local children and teachers and will get an impression of how the young Maasai live.

After a comfortable picnic, get ready to climb Ol Doinyo Landaree in Mukuru. The mountain is sacred in Maasai mythology. In the evening, you return to the lodge just in time to experience once more the delightful sunset over Africa's highest mountain, with its peak covered in snow.

Amini Maasai Lodge

A special place where you immediately will come to rest and reflect on the essentials. In the middle of the wilderness of the Maasai steppe are seven bungalows with hand crafted furniture with great view on the Kilimanjaro, Africa‘s highest mountain. Behind it and until the border of Kenya there is the savanna, home to the Maasai people. This is the right place to get to know them and their traditions and rituals, together with a slowing-down of your own lives’ pace. It‘s all about being together, traditions, stories and learning from each other.
