Situated only 25 kilometers from Arusha and 20 kilometers from Kilimanjaro Airport, Imbaseni is a quiet rural Meru village that is largely undisturbed by the thriving safari and trekking tourist industry in North Tanzania.  The village offers a once in life time experience in Eastern African Meru culture on your route to the world famous wildlife safari and trekking.

Visit us. Get the memory of a unique culture and community that you will cherish for a long time.

In Imbaseni, you will see

  • giant fig trees shadowing endless green banana, coffee and maize fields

  • the remains of century old colonial mansions, which today, coexisting with traditional mud huts and modern brick houses 

  • old mamas quietly watching grand children playing in the increasingly crowded family bomas

  • colorfully dressed women's and girls fetching water and preparing morning tea and cook traditional roshero to fill up husbands and brothers’ gourd bottles

  • uniformed children hiking up the hill and studying in outdoor classrooms at the local primary school

  • the traditional healer sharing the secrets of the local herbs and her plan to pass on her skills to the next generation

  • cheerful locals brewing banana beer and welcoming you to a taste of the season

and much more…

Our program is initiated and managed by the Imbaseni village community. The community raised the initial funds to start up the program and the incomes from the tour will be used to support local government schools and other community projects.
Our hiking routes are selected and designed to ensure your comforts and safety. All local food and drinks offered, as part of the program, is prepared with strict hygiene standards. All guides and hosts are community members who were trained by volunteer professionals from the tourist industry.
