Descrizione

Embark on a deep and authentic journey through the heart of Tanzania, where adventure is intertwined with the soul of local communities. For 7 days, you will live in a communal environment on the outskirts of Arusha, surrounded by mountains, natural scents, and faces that tell stories. Each day connects you with Swahili culture, Maasai wisdom and the joy of sharing from respect and empathy.

From guided walks through vibrant villages to batik workshops, percussion and ancestral self-care; from slow-cooked lunches with mothers from the community to welcoming rituals in hidden waterfalls of Mount Meru; This itinerary is not just a journey, it is a bridge between worlds. You will participate in educational projects, learn about women-led ventures, and celebrate under the stars with traditional music and dance.

Come back with a full heart, a handmade bracelet and a word in Swahili that will mark your transformation. Ideal for those looking to reconnect with the sense of travel and leave a genuine mark.
