We will depart for Tarangire National Park early in the morning. Once we arrive in Tarangire we will begin exploring the enormous termite mounds and the ancient baobab trees. This park is renowned for its diverse bird species and extensive population of elephants. There are regular sightings of ferocious lions, giraffe, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetah, mongoose, buffaloes, and mischievous baboons. After viewing the wildlife in Tarangire we will continue our journey to our next highlight the Ngorongoro Crater and Close to Lake Manyara. Dinner and overnight. Meals Provided: Lunch & Dinner.

>>> We will have an early start to the day to ensure that we complete the itinerary for the day which includes a magnificent game drive with a picnic lunch in the crater. Animals infrequently migrate in and out of the crater due to its elevated walls. This means you are capable of spotting every member of the big five in one day. The big five comprises of buffalo, elephants, rhinos, lions and leopards. Some of the other wildlife that you can expect to see includes zebras, hippo, wildebeest and hyenas. The craters also feature an extensive bird population including geese, storks and vultures. You will be graced by the lovely flamingos on the Soda Lake. Our guides are highly skilled and will impress you with their ability to track down animals. This is a skill that a book cannot teach you and that a selected few can perform. Your trip will come to an end in the late afternoon and we will proceed to Arusha/ Moshi Town.

OVERNIGHT AT ARUSHA

>>>Once your Safari is finished you will be transferred to the hotel where the art therapy workshops will take place. Once you arrived at your hotel you can relax and have a nice dinner. You will also meet with the art therapist who will explain everything you need to know regarding the next days.

What is Art Therapy:

Art therapy is an integrative mental health and human services profession that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through active art-making and creative process. In this order, several artistic mediums can be used. For example, we will use: Paint (watercolor, acrylic), markers, pencils, clay, collage, or even music or writing. Art allows to exteriorize, to take a step back, and to see certain situations from a new perspective. Art also allows people to re-motivate themselves, to rediscover their dreams and desires. When you are in harmony with yourself, you can deploy all your abilities to accomplish absolutely everything that you want. And allowing a person to reconnect with himself, through art therapy, is to open to him the doors to all the possibilities.

For whom is Art Therapy:

Art therapy is for everybody. It is for children, adults and for the seniors. It is for people who need to relax, who are searching for well-being and for those who want to reconnect to themselves. It is also for people going through a difficult episode in their life (loss, hospitalization, illness, etc.). No artistic notion is necessary, even if you have never painted you can assist and enjoy our Art Therapy sessions. If you want to reconnect with yourself, to relax, Art therapy is for you. It brings calm, relaxation and allows you to refocus on yourself. It is an ideal complement for your trip in Tanzania. You will leave with a new outlook on yourself.

Program: For the morning you can choose one of the following activities or you can book a private session of Art Therapy. Of course, you can also just stay and relax at the lodge.

After lunch, in the afternoon, you will have a sharing session of Art Therapy. Each session will start and end with a few minutes of meditation. Generally, the workshop will be split in two exercises but sometimes, depending to the exercise, you can have one exercise per session. Each exercise takes place in three parts: Explanation, realization and discussion. We remind you that it’s not mandatory to have some artistic skills. The aim of these workshops is to relax and to reconnect yourself to your desires and emotions. At the end of the workshop, you will enjoy a drink with a small collation. At the end of the day, you can have a dinner at the hotel, or we can book for you a dinner to another delicious restaurant in town.
