Marangu Day Trip

At 8 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Arusha and start this adventure. We'll head to Kilimanjaro, at the foot of which lies Marangu, where we'll learn about the Chagga people.

The first stop will be at the Marangu Falls. Amidst lush nature, you'll hear the water rushing down, followed by the view of crystalline waterfalls. The water is sourced from Kilimanjaro and is refreshingly cool.

The tour will continue at the Chagga museum. The Chagga are the third largest ethnic group in Tanzania and were among the first to convert to Christianity. We'll learn about their way of life and visit the tunnels that served as a refuge during inter-clan conflicts.

Marangu is also known for its colorful markets filled with bananas. After a brief lunch stop, we'll explore the coffee and banana plantations. We'll learn about the various uses of bananas for the Chagga people and sample mbege, a banana beer.

Once the visit is over, we'll return to Arusha, arriving back at your hotel at 4 pm.
