Your Arusha National Park day trip begins with a morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi, followed by a scenic drive toward the park.

After registration at the gate, enjoy a morning game drive through the park’s lush landscapes, where you may spot giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and playful troops of baboons. The park is also home to elusive leopards, warthogs, and a wide variety of birdlife, especially around the Momella Lakes.

Mid-morning, stretch your legs on a guided walking safari with an armed ranger. This unique experience allows you to explore the forest trails, learn about local flora and fauna, and get closer to nature in a safe and immersive way. Afterward, settle down for a picnic lunch in a scenic spot, often with views of Mount Meru or overlooking the crater or lakes.

In the afternoon, continue game viewing around the Momella Lakes, where flamingos and water birds gather in colorful flocks. If the sky is clear, you may catch a glimpse of Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance. By late afternoon, you’ll exit the park and return to your hotel, ending a rewarding and diverse day in the wild.
