Arusha National Park, Lake Momella and Walking Safari
- We meet early at dawn and drive to the alluring and often overlooked Arusha National Park. Arusha is a jewel of Tanzania, with a rich variety of plants and animals that will take your breath away. You will explore the shores of tranquil Lake Momella, reflecting the colors of the sky in its calm waters, and witness the vibrancy of the bush around Ngurdoto Crater, where buffalo, antelope, giraffe, wild boar, zebra, and gazelle roam. These animals live here year-round, so you are likely to see a diverse range of wildlife wherever you go.
- The elusive leopards and elephants tend to be shy in Arusha, but there is also a good chance of seeing them.
- You will also have the opportunity to take a fascinating walk on foot for a completely different experience, feeling the beating pulse of Africa through the soles of your shoes. At a slower pace, you can begin to understand Africa more deeply. You will get up close and personal with the flora and fauna while staying safe, accompanied by an armed ranger who will guide you through lush forest to the clear springs of a shimmering waterfall. Arusha National Park's rangers are extremely knowledgeable, and as you wander, you will learn a great deal about the park's biodiversity. You may also immediately spot a troop of black and white colobus monkeys, famous in the park for their acrobatics, before heading back to Arusha.
