This is the perfect short safari for travelers based in or passing through Arusha. Arusha National Park is just a short drive from town, yet it offers incredible diversity from lush montane forests and sparkling lakes to open grasslands and the stunning backdrop of Mount Meru.
On this full-day trip, you’ll enjoy a combination of game drives and (if you choose) a guided walking safari or canoe safari. The park is home to giraffes, zebras, buffalo, waterbucks, and an impressive variety of primates including colobus monkeys. After a picnic lunch with a view of Momella Lakes, you’ll continue exploring before heading back to Arusha in the late afternoon.
