About This Event
🇹🇿 Moshi–Arusha Adventure Circuit — three days, two cities, one unforgettable friends' adventure. A relaxed but adventurous escape for a group that wants to leave Nairobi behind: the scenic Tarakea route under Kilimanjaro, a stop at Marangu Falls, a long unhurried day swimming at Kikuletwa Hot Springs, and Arusha's art and food before the drive home. Deliberately not an overpacked itinerary — there is time to explore, unwind, take photographs and actually enjoy each other's company.
