Day 01

Walking Safari, Momella Lakes and Game Drives

You will be picked up from your accommodation early in the morning to arrive at the gates of Arusha National Park at around 10:00 am. The drive to the park is short; coffee plantations and small towns with busy daily life keep you entertained during the 50-minute journey until you turn off onto a gravel road and begin ascending towards the park gate.
Here, an armed ranger will join you before you set out across open plains for a leisurely morning walking safari in the shadows of Mt Meru. Heading up the ascent route of Mt Meru offers an interesting perspective on viewing wildlife, along with great views of the park below.
Once back at the gate, you will drive the short distance to Momella Lakes for a picnic lunch. Here, you can enjoy an optional canoeing safari on the lake or continue with afternoon game drives through the park at a relaxed pace.
Late in the afternoon, you will leave the park and head back to your accommodation.
