Springs and waterfalls-We will visit some of the highest most beautiful waterfalls in the world. Visit Chemka Hot Springs- The springs are not actually hot but are the perfect temperature to warm your body at this hidden slice of paradise. Bring your swimsuit, this is going to be a day to remember.
Mt Kilimanjaro- the African continent’s highest peak at 5,895 meters (19,340 feet). The majestic mountain is a snow-capped volcano. While some runners enjoy the extreme trail running experience, we are going to enjoy a low-level hike at the mountain.

N&N Tours puts a lot of research and thought into each place they travel. Blending cultural experiences into the itinerary is imperative to their goals of connecting the world. You will spend time with 2 different Tanzanian tribes, the Massai and the Chagga. The Maasai are nomadic people who herd and breed cattle and are known for their lively cultural dance, colorful clothing and beadwork. The Chagga still live in an authentic tribal village. We will visit one of their coffee farms and learn about their traditions first hand
Each morning Sue will offer an optional short yoga session and meditation. At the Maasai Lodge we can join in the sunset and sunrise dance. We will also take the time for self-reflection and journaling. This is where we will set intentions as we embrace this vast experience awaiting us each day. Bringing that same presence into fully engaging all five senses on our excursions, we will surely recapture the wonder of life and self.
Tanzania, known as “the cradle of humanity” where it all began, offers a unique setting for introspection and a fresh perspective. In this land of extraordinary beauty and cultural richness, you will find yourself surrounded by an environment unlike anything you have ever known. It is the perfect place for a reset, offering an opportunity to embrace a new outlook on life. The expansiveness of the landscapes will inspire expansion of ourselves. Witnessing the cycle of life in real time offers us the opportunity to experience our own rebirth and truly be transformed!
