We will take the opportunity to visit their hut, discover the jewellery that the women make and

Apart from the giraffes, you will be able to see all the species found in Northern Tanzania, even white rhinos!  At the end of the last day of the safari, we will return to Arusha to the same hotel where your trip started for our last night together.
