Distance: 60 km
After breakfast, you'll be greeted by our professional tour guide/driver for a brief safari information session before heading east to Arusha National Park. Located just 40 km from Arusha and close to Kilimanjaro International Airport, this charming park is ideal for a 1-day safari. Despite its small size, the park boasts a diverse range of landscapes, from lush forests to open savannahs.
Your day will include a picnic lunch within the park and both a morning and afternoon game drive. Key highlights of the park include the picturesque Momela Lakes and the dramatic Ngurdoto Crater. Wildlife sightings may include African buffaloes, elephants, hippos, giraffes, warthogs, antelopes, zebras, blue monkeys, and occasionally a rare leopard or hyena. In the late afternoon, we will return to Moshi or Arusha, concluding your safari adventure.
