Description
Discover the beauty of Arusha National Park, a hidden gem nestled at the base of Mount Meru. This scenic park offers a unique and peaceful safari experience, where lush forests, open plains, and sparkling lakes come together to create a diverse and picturesque landscape.
On your game drive, you’ll have the opportunity to spot a wide variety of wildlife, including giraffes, Cape buffalo, zebras, warthogs, elephants, bushbucks, and the park’s famous black-and-white colobus monkeys, along with playful blue monkeys and vibrant flamingos. While leopards do inhabit the park, they are rarely seen, adding an element of mystery to your adventure.
Your day begins with a morning game drive, followed by a relaxing picnic lunch overlooking one of the park’s beautiful lakes. Afterward, continue exploring with an afternoon game drive, giving you even more chances to encounter wildlife and take in the stunning surroundings before returning to Arusha.
Enhance your experience by adding a canoeing excursion on the tranquil Momella Lakes. Glide across calm, reflective waters as you observe flamingos and other birdlife up close, with breathtaking views of Mount Meru—and on clear days, even Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance. With no hippos or crocodiles in these alkaline lakes, this activity is both safe and incredibly peaceful, offering a unique perspective of the park from the water.
