Game Drives in Arusha National Park

Meet your professional tour guide/driver in Arusha after breakfast at 8:30, who will brief you about the safari.
Travel east to Arusha National Park, ideal for 1-day safaris as it is very close to the main cities. Not only is the animal life in the park abundant, but it is also one of the most beautiful and topographically varied parks in Tanzania.
Admire the rugged Mount Meru (Tanzania's second-highest peak at 4566 m), the notably different coloured Momela Lakes, and the 3 km wide Ngurdoto Crater.
Enjoy lunch at the Momela Wildlife Lodge after your exciting morning game drive.
Depart again for an afternoon safari and spot wildlife such as African buffalos, elephants, hippos, giraffes, warthogs, antelopes, zebras, blue monkeys, and sometimes a rare leopard or hyena.

Depart for Arusha in the late afternoon, where we will end our safari adventure.
