Amani Children's Home & Village Visit

Walking, Local Food, Local Life & Culture

• Visit the Amani Children’s Home in Moshi and see how it is changing the lives of street children
• Drive to Marangu for a guided walk through Mshiri village to learn about the Chagga people and the Village Education Program
• Savour a local Chagga lunch before returning to Arusha

On this Arusha tour, we're taking you out of the city and into a nearby village, Moshi, about an hour’s drive from Arusha. In Moshi we will meet the very special kids of the Amani Children's Home, which supports street children giving them a safe place to stay and educational and emotional support.

 

You'll check out the new school, which has been built with the help of donors, and hopefully be inspired by this project which is changing children's lives.

 

From Moshi, we'll drive on to the Kilimanjaro base town of Marangu, about 40 minutes away. We then embark on a walking tour of Mshiri village, the base for the Village Education Project, where we witness the day-to-day life of the Chagga people, long established as crop-growers on the fertile slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro.

 

We'll visit their homes, walk around the shamba (farm), visit the primary school as well as the other institutions where local young people are taught various skills. Lunch provides an opportunity to sample local Chagga food, which is very filling.

 

To round out this day tour from Arusha, we'll also visit nearby waterfalls and stop to admire the view of the plains below. From there, we'll return to our vehicle for the journey back to Arusha.
