Nestled near the shores of Lake Manyara, the vibrant village of Mto wa Mbu is famous for its bustling market, banana plantations, and the wildlife that often wanders in from the surrounding plains.  

Your adventure begins with a scenic hike to the Majengo Waterfalls, starting with a walk through lush banana plantations before reaching the falls. After enjoying a hearty lunch, visit a traditional Maasai boma to learn about their culture and way of life. Back in Mto wa Mbu, explore rice and sugar plantations, browse the lively local market, and meet artisans from across Tanzania showcasing their crafts. Stroll to the lakeshore for views of Lake Manyara before heading up Balaa Hill for breathtaking panoramas of the lake and the Great Rift Valley.  

This tour can be experienced by bike or tuk-tuk, and makes a perfect day trip from Arusha or nearby towns. For even more adventure, add on a canoe ride across Lake Manyara or soar above the treetops on a thrilling zipline.
