Acclimatisation phase
Teams will have an opportunity to stay in local villages, experiencing Pare culture, whilst trekking through the Pare Mountains. There are great views of Mt. Kilimanjaro, as well as Lake Jipe and Lake Nyumba ya Mungu. Alternatively you may head to Longido Mountain, ascending through dense bush the summit is a peak of bare rock with fantastic views of the Rift Valley, Mt. Meru, Mt. Kilimanjaro and into Kenya, or to the Usambara Mountains, where lush rainforests and an amazing array of wildlife awaits.
Trekking phase
World famous for it's safari opportunities, the Ngorongoro Crater is also the starting point for some superb trekking through the heart of Tanzania's Masai tribal areas. With volcanic peaks, rolling savannahs, great game spotting opportunities and a chance to learn more about Masai life, a trek through northern Tanzania's crater highlands is bound to be richly rewarding.
Project phase
Previous World Challenge teams have been able to work on many fulfilling projects that are greatly appreciated by the local communities. Examples include helping to provide a water supply to a primary school, renovating a kitchen and painting classrooms. The project is a great chance to interact on a more personal level with the local people and experience first hand the culture of Tanzania and a different way of life.
Rest and relaxation phase
The safari is a chance to see all the diversity of African wildlife and with luck you will get to see the Big Five. Visit the famous Ngorongoro Crater or perhaps Lake Manyara National Park or Tarangire National Park. The Crater with its steep, unbroken walls provide the perfect backdrop for you to see lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras and wildebeests, amongst the grassland, forests and swamps. Then head to the beach to relax on the sandy shores and explore the colourful craft markets. It may also be possible to arrange snorkelling trips and maybe even spot some dolphins.
