Arusha Nationalpark
Day Trip

Introduction

Arusha National Park Safari is one of the smaller parks of Tanzania and is a popular destination for day trips due to its proximity to Moshi and Arusha. 
Despite its size, the park offers a spectacular landscape and a diverse wildlife population.
Only a few parks offer the possibility of a walking safari – where you have a unique opportunity to observe the wild animals at close quarters.
The park’s three most significant features include Mount Meru (Tanzania’s second highest peak at 4566m), the notably different coloured Momella Lakes, and the 3km wide Ngurdoto Crater, which was formed about fifteen million years ago. Because of its stunning beauty, many scenes of the Hollywood classic “Hatari” starring John Wayne and Hardy Krüger were filmed here.

ITINERARY

Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime as our guide picks you up from your accommodation in the morning and takes you on an unforgettable journey to the stunning Arusha National Park, through the Ngongongare Gate. After the formalities are out of the way, it’s time to dive into the day’s adventure!

This park is an absolute gem, despite its size, it boasts a breathtaking landscape and a diverse wildlife population. Giraffes, zebras, antelopes, buffalos, warthogs, baboons, colobus monkeys, blue monkeys and a whole variety of birds – you’ll be spoilt for choice! And if you’re lucky, you might even spot leopards, elephants and hyenas.

First, we’ll drive to the Momella Gate, where an armed ranger will be waiting to accompany you on a walking safari. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe wildlife up close, something that only a few other National Parks in Tanzania can offer. After an exhilarating walking safari, you’ll savour a delicious lunch at a scenic picnic spot overlooking the Momella lakes. Then, in the afternoon, you’ll embark on an invigorating game drive, where you’ll encounter the majestic Ngurdoto Crater and other breathtaking vistas. During the drive, your experienced guide will fill you in on everything you need to know about the park, the landscape and the animals. Then, as the sun sets, your driver will escort you back to your accommodation, giving you the chance to enjoy the sunset and your memories of the day.
