When you arrive in Arusha the drive from the airport to your hotel is about two hours. Your safari consultant together with your safari guide will meet you and brief you on various aspects of your itinerary including sharing all the important tips before the safari begins. If you arrive early, after the briefing you will get a chance to go on the free Arusha town tour to learn the lifestyle and culture of the local people. After the tour you will head to Karatu where you will spend the night.
