About this experience
This is a short 2-hour tour that takes visitors through the foothills of the majestic Mount Meru. It offers an authentic glimpse of daily life in the small, charming villages found on the outskirts of Arusha city center. This experience of Tanzanian culture allows visitors to witness the hospitality of villagers and curious kids as well as the typical daily activities of farming communities. You will also have the opportunity to try local food and visit a small home-brewery that makes ‘mbege’, a traditional banana beer from the Chagga ethnic group. Most of this ride is on flat terrain with some shade along the way. There is one hill on the way up from the lake and the roads are moderate to good.
