Upon your arrival at either Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport (ARK), you’ll be warmly received by your safari guide. After a quick orientation, you’ll be transferred to Arusha Planet Lodge, a mid-range oasis nestled in a quiet suburb with lush gardens, a pool, and cozy bungalow-style rooms. Spend the day unwinding after your flight. Depending on your arrival time, you can opt for a short cultural tour of Arusha or enjoy dinner at a local favorite like The Blue Heron. This day sets the pace for the exciting adventure ahead.
