All our safaris in Northern Tanzania start and finish in Arusha. Kilimanjaro International Airport is about 40 miles from Arusha and receives daily KLM flights from Europe. Since the KLM flights continue to Dar-es-Salaam, it is possible to arrange an itinerary with arrival into Kilimanjaro and departure from Dar or visa versa. This is particularly useful for those wishing to include a visit to Zanzibar or the Southern reserves into their schedule.
Arusha is a great deal closer to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, than it is to Dar-es-Salaam. The number of airlines and frequency of flights into Nairobi is much greater than those into Dar, and the prices more competitive. For these reasons, 80% of safari visitors to Northern Tanzania fly into Nairobi. We arrange shuttle bus transfers or private transportation for clients from Nairobi to Arusha. For UK residents we can book British Airways flights into Nairobi and out of Dar es Salaam- ideal for a Northern Tanzania Safari combined with a Zanzibar extension. Also, we can book flights on Kenya Airways into and out of Nairobi..
There are several charter flights from Europe into Mombasa. These are mostly booked by tour operators running package tours but space may be available on a "seat only" basis
NAIROBI TO ARUSHA SHUTTLE
There is an inexpensive shuttle bus running twice daily between Nairobi and Arusha. The shuttle bus from Nairobi has one early morning departure (08:00 AM) and one afternoon departure (14:00). The terminals are the Norfolk, Stanley and Hilton Hotels in Nairobi and the Mount Meru Hotel in Arusha. The journey takes at least 3 and 1/2 hours, dependent on road conditions and subject to formalities at the border crossing at Namanga. Clients do have the option of arranging private transportation with Introducing Africa company from Nairobi to Arusha and return at a supplementary charge.
There is a daily flight available from Nairobi airport to Kilimanjaro airport.

UGANDA |

Uganda is renowned for its physical beauty. Strung like a necklace around its borders are some of the continent's greatest geographical landmarks. A full circuit would take you from the shores of Victoria, queen of African lakes, to the Virunga and Rwenzori mountains, the Western Rift Valley lakes Edward and Albert, the Nile, and Mount Elgon. The country encompasses golden savannas, semi-desert thirst lands, equatorial rain forests, and farmlands said to be so fertile that a seed dropped on the ground will sprout and bear fruit without benefit of care. Often described as the "Pearl of Africa", this lush tropical land is the true birthplace of the Nile, where the great river spills out of Lake Victoria and starts its long journey to the Mediterranean Sea. Uganda's National Parks are counted among the best in Africa. Uganda is celebrated as much for fine scenery as for its abundant wildlife.

Rwanda situated at the heart of Africa the bridge between the eco-system of the Cong basin and the Great Rift Valley of Eastern Africa and thus shares the natural riches of both worlds resulting in a country of exquisite beauty and unsurpassed biodiversity.
It lies at 2 00 S, 30 00 E, bordered by Uganda to the North, DR Congo to the West, Burundi to the South and Tanzania to the East. To the outside world, Rwanda is known for the genocide of 1994, but it has recovered from those years of turmoil that characterised the nation in the period 1950-1994.
Today, under the leadership of President Paul KAGAME, Rwanda is peaceful, prosperous and inviting. The country has three (3) national parks - Nyungwe Forest Park known for its large size and a vast army of chimps and monkeys; Akagera National park for game, including zebra, giraffe, antelope, buffalo; and Parc National des Volcans where Dian Fossey dedicated her life researching the celebrated gorillas.
Among its many and enduring attractions are the primates, in particular the mountain Gorillas. One of the most awesome wildlife interactions in the world.
Ultimate Safaris invites you to meet these gentle giants, our ancestors sharing some 97% of our DANN, in their natural habitat, the verdant jungle and misty mountains of Rwanda. Our specialist eco-friendly trekking safaris, led by professional guides and with no detail overlooked,
provide the ultimate once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The People of Rwanda
the earliest known inhabitants of Rwanda were pygmoid hunter-gatherers, ancestral to the modern Twa people who today comprise only 0.25% of the national population. Some 2,000 years ago, agricultural and pastoralist migrants from the west settled in the area. Oral traditions recall that prior to the 15th century a ruler named Gihanga forged a centralised Rwandan state with similar roots to the Buganda and Bunyoro Empires in neighbouring Uganda. Comprised of a cattle-owning nobility and agriculturist serfdom majority - the precursors respectively of the modern-day Tutsi and Hutu - this powerful state was able to repel all early attempts at European penetration.
