What to do and see at Mountain Village
Standing on the edge of beautiful Lake Duluti, surrounded by coffee farms and with panoramic views across Mount Meru National Park, Mountain Village is just 15 minutes outside Tanzania's most famous safari town, Arusha, the gateway to the wonders of the Serengeti, Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater. The activities on offer at Mountain Village include:
- Morning bird walks around Lake Duluti with our resident naturalist
- An extensive selection of nature trails looping around the lake and through the shaded groves of neighbouring coffee plantations
- Mountain biking around the lake and coffee plantation circuits
- Walking and Jogging around the lake and plantation circuits
- Canoeing on the lake in sturdy 2-man canoes
- Trips to the craters, alkaline lakes, forests and peaks of nearby Arusha National Park
- Mountain Village serves as an ideal base camp from which to conquer the snow- capped peaks of Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain (5, 895m)
- For those who prefer a slightly more unusual but equally rewarding climb, there is also nearby Mount Meru, Africa's 5th highest mountain, which offers endless opportunities for climbing, hiking, trekking or walking
- A number of villages in the Arusha region belong to the Cultural Tourism Programme and offer guests an unprecedented opportunity to experience the local people's lifestyle by means of visits to such venues as; Maasai homesteads, traditional cattle markets or women's handicrafts cooperatives
- Atmospheric ‘Sundowners' idyllically staged on wooded cliffs above the lake's mirrored waters as clouds of white egret come home to roost in their forest home.
- Wildlife and cultural talks, videos and film shows.
