Upon touching down at Kilimanjaro Airport, a magical beginning awaits as you step through customs. Search for the warm smile of your Evergreen Escape Adventure driver, holding a sign adorned with your name, a beacon amidst the buzz of arrivals. With a friendly greeting, you'll be whisked away on a serene drive to your enchanting hotel nestled in either Arusha or Moshi, where a night of comfort beckons—complete with a sumptuous dinner and a breakfast promising the start of an unforgettable journey.

In the morning, pick up from your Arusha/Moshi accommodation and proceed to Amani Nature Reserve in the East Sambora Mountains, where you will arrive in time for lunch. Take a stroll through the deep virgin rainforest to see the ecosystem's rich and diverse flora and wildlife, which is considered a biodiversity hotspot with several plant and animal species found nowhere else. Dinner and overnight stay at Amani Rest house.

With the first light of dawn, embark on a mesmerizing journey deeper into the heart of the Amani tropical rainforest. Wander along paths woven through the emerald canopy, a sanctuary for rare birds, fluttering butterflies, and the elusive blue monkeys. Let the morning unfold in the enchanting Amani Botanical Gardens, Africa's grandest testament to botanical wonder, established in the year 1902. Amidst this verdant paradise, explore the lush tea fields that blanket the landscape in a tapestry of green. As twilight descends, find solace and dreams at the Amani Rest House, your haven nestled within the forest's embrace, with every meal a celebration of the day's discoveries.

After breakfast, begin your day journey to the seaside village of Pangani, located at the mouth of the Pangani River, to learn about its rich history and distinct culture. This is a place where colonial influences from Arabic, Asian, German, and British rule are still obvious, and Swahili, Arab, Colonial customs, and modern hospitality coexist. A river trip through the extensive coconut fields along the Pangani River is an option. Enjoy the clean, sandy beaches, green turtle nesting areas, historic attractions, and coral reefs. All meals will be provided at your Beach Resort. Relax at your leisure in the Coastal Beach Resort.
