- Arusha - Begin your journey with a pick-up from your location at 7:00 AM and head to Tarangire National Park. The drive will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
Arusha National Park is divided into three unique districts: Mount Meru, Momella Lakes, and the Ngurdoto Crater.
Firstly, Mount Meru is a beautifully-shaped volcanic cone with a stunning crater that is a central feature of the park. This impressive mountain is situated in the heart of the park, close to the town of Arusha.
Next, to the east of Mount Meru, you’ll discover the Momella Lakes, a series of small, alkaline lakes that attract migrating water birds.
Finally, south of the Momella Lakes lies the intriguing Ngurdoto Crater, often referred to as ‘little Ngorongoro’ due to its abundant wildlife.
These three areas form an inviting lopsided triangle ready for exploration!
- Arusha National Park - Embark on a game drive to observe the wildlife. The park is home to a large number of mammals, including one of the highest concentrations of giraffes in Tanzania, making them easy to spot. In addition to giraffes, elephants, zebras, buffalos, and hippos are also commonly seen. Wildebeests occasionally visit the park as well.
The park’s main wildlife attraction is the Colobus monkey.
While leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and wild dogs have been recorded here, they are quite elusive.
For bird enthusiasts, the lake offers a chance to see a variety of birds. Geese, hamerkops, grebes, herons, lesser and greater flamingoes, pelicans, and hornbills can be found near the lake. Birds of prey such as eagles and the striking secretary birds are also easily spotted.
Optional Walking Safari
An optional walking safari in the park is a wonderful choice as the predator concentration is very low.
-
Ngurdoto Crater - Visit the Ngurdoto Museum near the Ngurdoto Forest. We will stop at the Ngurdoto Museum, which boasts a rich collection of the park’s animals, birds, and insects, providing a preview of what to expect in the park.
-
Momella Lakes - With the safari, you have the option of going canoeing at Lake Momella.
Canoeing in Lake Momella is a popular activity. Lake Momella actually consists of a group of seven shallow lakes within the national park. The canoe ride lasts about two to two and a half hours, and you will paddle your own canoe. Your guide will accompany you in a separate canoe. During this activity, you will have the opportunity to see hippos, bushbucks, buffaloes, giraffes, and more. You will also be able to spot birds like herons, flamingoes, and grebes. Water birds gather around the lake to feed on the algae present there.
