Why this trip
An island like Arusha thrives on seclusion, so we plan the trip to keep changes after your arrival to a minimum and leave you the stillness of the place to yourself. Around Mount Meru and Arusha-Nationalpark, days can alternate between beach, water and calm without you having to keep to a schedule, and excursions remain optional. According to our country information, the best time to travel to Tansania is agreed individually, and for islands we also check how weather and water affect the journey and daily life.
Getting to an island like Arusha often involves several legs, such as a flight, a boat or a seaplane, and we plan the connections with buffers so that you arrive without haste. We talk with you on a video call about your expectations of seclusion, because anyone seeking calm in Arusha needs different planning from someone who also wants excursions or water sports. For families and couples in Arusha, we clarify meals, healthcare and excursion options in advance, so that seclusion does not become a limitation but stays planned.
Getting there
From your Swiss airport, Private Islands shapes the long journey up to the last boat transfer.
