So close to Arusha town, this ‘little jewel’ of a park provides the opportunity for an excellent private day-trip. It’s easy to plunge into the wild world of Africa, especially when you can walk past the plump zebras, restless buffalos and long-necked giraffes grazing in the 100 meters from you. Of course, you cannot come closer than 50 meters but every “naturalist” can sense this tremendous feeling of unity with nature of Africa.

Here you might see buffalo and elephant, zebras and antelope, plus some of the 400 recorded bird species. An early morning hotel pick-up ensures you get the most from this incredible day-trip.

Itinerary:

From Arusha City, we pick you up from your hotel with picnic lunch at around 07.00 am for your short, one-hour drive to take you to Arusha National Park. The Arusha National Park is the only park in Northern Tanzania where you may experience a walking safari. Take a morning trek with a national park armed ranger, you will walk in the tropical forest and watch animals outside the car. The most amazing thing is that you will be able to walk up to the crater of Meru (the second highest peak of Tanzania and the fifth highest peak of Africa) which is located right in the park.

After the walking safari, a jeep will drive you to the furthest part of the park the – Ngurdoto crater and the Momela lakes where you can see pink flamingos as well as many other animals on your way. At around 15.00, we make the short return journey back to Arusha City, where we should arrive around 16.00 to drop you off at your hotel.
