Safari in the Swahili language means ‘journey’. A more commonly used word nowadays to mean game drives across open savannah deserts exploring the wildlife of the area in their own habitat.
Matunda Safaris and Cultural Tourism is located in the Arusha region of Northern Tanzania, home to some of the most famous safari lands in the world: the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Manyara to name but a few. Situated along the Great Rift Valley stretching from Jordan in the Middle East, all the way down to Mozambique in East Africa, each park has its own unique environment and wildlife habitat. We can offer safari programmes from 1 day to several weeks, depending on your choice and always in the safe hands of our experienced and highly trained guides and cooks.
To learn more about our various safari programmes, please feel free to email Kaaya at director@peacematunda.org for more information.
On each safari over 1 day you will be provided with: x1 guide, x1 cook, tented accommodation, camp beds, bedding, 3 meals per day (plus refreshments), 4WD vehicle including long range VHF radio, return pick up and drop off to your accommodation (within the Arusha area). We would class this as standard camping.
Overnight stays often consist of staying within a patrolled but open campsite near or close to, the park on your itinerary. Camping is the most common way to experience a game drive safari, however, if you’re not the camping kind then don’t be put off! We can offer lodge accommodation in any of the beautiful African lodges within suitable distance of your excursion. Please email us for more information.
Matunda Safaris and Cultural Tours work in association with our non-profit project for the school and orphanage. Therefore, not only do we often use experienced and highly trained local guides who have grown up in the areas that you will visit, we also offer the option of taking a local school or orphanage child for free along for a short safari (day excursions only, please email us for terms and conditions).
