Enjoy “Garden Spa” restorative rituals, concluding with a private family dinner by the fireplace of your cottage. The lodge offers colonial-style cottages, deep soaking bathtubs, a swimming pool, and a fitness center.
A day of “Slow Movement.” Wander the estate trails together on bicycles or join an “Art in the Garden” session, where your family is encouraged to sketch the vibrant flora rather than simply photograph it. This is your first collective step in truly “seeing” again.
Participate in cycling or walking the coffee estate trails, “Art in the Garden” family sketching sessions, and croquet.
Transfer to the Burunge Wildlife Management Area. Your family’s arrival is marked by a traditional “Maasai Blessing Ceremony”. This is a profound celebration of togetherness—you are no longer just visitors; you are honored guests of the land.
Experience the Traditional Maasai Blessing Ceremony, a Signature Silent Walk with a Maasai warrior, and an evening “Ceremony of Fire”. Unwind in luxury tented suites featuring a viewing deck, the Roar & Restore Spa, and a pool.

Take private Tarangire game drives and enjoy exclusive “Baobab Picnic” lunches. You have access to fine dining, private safari vehicles, and unfenced wilderness access.
Day 5
Re-energize with a guided “Maasai Power Walk” (6-10km) across the sweeping plains. In the evening, gather for “Sundowners on the shores of Lake Manyara,” watching thousands of flamingos turn the water a blush pink as the sun sinks behind the Great Rift Valley escarpment.

Enjoy gourmet “Rock Dining” overlooking a river gorge, and sensory bush walks to read animal tracks and scents. The lodge features natural rock and canvas suites, an infinity pool, a hot tub/jacuzzi, and a wellness spa.
A “Cultural Bridge” experience. Visit the indigenous Hadzabe or Datoga communities. Your family is invited to participate in their daily rhythms—not as spectators, but as respectful observers of profound human resilience and ancient connection.
Take part in cultural bridge visits with the Hadzabe or Datoga tribes. Enjoy luxurious lodge dining and laundry services.

Experience immersive fly-camping in specialized Stargazer tents with transparent netting.
Day 9
Take a thrilling “Helicopter Safari” over the Rift Valley. Witness the surreal pink swarms of Lake Natron and the dramatic Ol’Donyo Lengai volcano from above. Conclude the day with a “Restorative Spa Ritual” back at the lodge to prepare for your journey home.

Preparing for your journey with East Africa Safari Guides ensures that your transition into the heartof the wild—and onto the shores of the Indian Ocean—is as smooth as the savannah breeze. Please review the following requirements to ensure a seamless entry into Tanzania and Kenya
Passport & Visa Requirement
Passport Validity:
Your passport must be valid for at least six (6) months beyond your intended departure date. Ensure you have at least three (3) blank visa pages to accommodate entry and exit stamps for both the mainland and island territories.
Tanzania & Zanzibar (Including Pemba & Mafia):
All U.S. and Canadian passport holders require a tourist visa for entry. While Tanzania and Zanzibar share federal immigration status, the islands maintain their own entry checkpoints.
Host Information (when prompted):
Host: East Africa Safari Guides Ltd.
Address: 11512, Levolosi, Arusha – Tanzania
Contact: +255 753 744 283 / +255 757 149 848, info@easguides.travel
Kenya Entry (Electronic Travel Authority):
Kenya has replaced traditional visas with an Electronic Travel Authority (eTA). All travelers, including infants and children, must obtain an eTA via etakenya.go.ke prior to departure.
Health & Wellness
Vaccinations & Malaria: East Africa is a malaria-endemic region. We recommend consulting a travel medicine specialist at least 8 weeks prior to travel to discuss prophylaxis (such as Malarone).
Yellow Fever Protocols: A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required if you are arriving from a country with a risk of Yellow Fever transmission (including a transit of more than 12 hours). If you are flying directly from Europe or North America into Tanzania, the vaccine is generally not required but is often recommended. Note: Proof of vaccination is frequently checked when flying between Nairobi and Arusha, or when arriving in Zanzibar from certain regions.
Special Considerations for the Islands (Zanzibar, Pemba & Mafia)
The islands offer a different pace and set of customs than the mainland.
Marine & Conservation Fees
Exploring the pristine waters of our marine parks requires specific daily conservation permits. These fees directly support the preservation of our coral reefs and the livelihoods of local fishing communities.
Mafia Island Marine Park:
Visitors staying within the Marine Park boundaries (the Utende area) or visiting the Whale Shark zones must pay a daily conservation fee.
Pemba (Misali Island & Pemba Channel):
As of late 2025, the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar has updated its fee structure for protected marine areas.
Mandatory Zanzibar Inbound Travel Insurance
All international visitors entering the Zanzibar Archipelago (including Unguja, Pemba, and Mafia) must hold a mandatory insurance policy issued by the Zanzibar Insurance Corporation (ZIC). This is a government requirement regardless of any existing global travel insurance you may hold.
Traveling with Families & Children
For our guests traveling with younger explorers, East Africa is a magnificent classroom.
Professional Advice for the Discerning Traveler
A Note on “Island Time”: While East Africa Safari Guides maintains rigorous standards of punctuality, the islands of Pemba and Mafia operate on a gentler rhythm. We invite you to embrace this “Pole Pole” (slowly, slowly) philosophy the moment you step off the plane.
