Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Arusha town. Set off on a scenic drive to Arusha National Park, taking in the views along the way.

Upon arrival, embark on a game drive through the park's diverse landscapes, from open savannah and acacia scrublands to Afromontane cloud forests, rainforests, and Afro-alpine vegetation reminiscent of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Spot colobus and vervet monkeys, bushbucks, buffaloes, red forest duikers, hippos, elephants, and giraffes. Marvel at abundant birdlife, especially waterfowl, around the Momela Lakes.

Explore the park's iconic features: the dramatic Ngurdoto Crater, serene Momela Lakes, highland montane forests, and the rugged slopes of Mount Meru (4,575 m). Named after the Wa-Arusha people who traditionally inhabit the area, this compact park packs a surprising wealth of biodiversity.
