Day 1: Morning arrivals into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), from which we will provide transfers to the adjacent city of Arusha. Overnight in Arusha.

Day 2: Birding on the slopes of Mount Meru this morning, our focus will be on the scarce Abbott's Starling and endemic Broad-ringed White-eye. Amongst a number of more widespread species, we may also come across Ayres’s Hawk-Eagle, Scaly Francolin, Scarce Swift, Placid Greenbul, Kenrick’s Starling, Waller’s Starling, and Hartlaub’s Turaco. In the evening, we will visit a colony of Taveta Weaver near our hotel. Overnight in Arusha.

Day 3: Heading towards the grassy plains, we will be searching in particular for a trio of special larks: the highly-localised Beesley's Lark, irruptive "Athi" Somali Short-toed Lark, and near-endemic Short-tailed Lark. At this time of year during the onset of the monsoon, all should be relatively easy to find. We should also encounter Sentinel Lark, Foxy Lark, and Fischer’s Sparrow-Lark, while some other specialties include Grey-capped Social Weaver and Blue-capped Cordonbleu. Once done, we'll head to Tarangire for our first safari drive! Overnight in Tarangire National Park.

Day 4: Tarangire National Park.

Day 5: We will have most of the day around Tarangire before heading south to Mbulu for overnight

Day 6: 

Day 7: To Ngologolo Crater

Day 15: Following an early departure from Arusha, we will head south-west, arriving in the late-morning to search for the highly range-restricted South Pare White-eye. After a few hours, we'll head back to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) where the tour ends this afternoon.
