One day.
A different
side of Tanzania.
Follow a village trail to a waterfall. Make coffee with local hosts. Slow down beside a spring pool. Discover the places and people around Kilimanjaro with Sunset's local team.
Make room for
the everyday discoveries.
A spare day before your climb or after a safari can become a worthwhile part of your journey. The countryside around Moshi offers a different pace: village life, green mountain slopes and time outdoors with a local guide.
Choose a walk, a relaxed spring-pool visit or a fuller combined day. We'll explain what the day involves and help you plan it around your energy, interests and onward travel.
A day worth
making time for.
From a green village trail to the mountain's forest paths, let your spare day become part of the journey.

A day away.
A closer connection.
The most memorable part of a day trip may be a conversation over coffee, a story beside the trail or a place you would have passed without a local guide.
