Arusha National Park - Forgotten Pearl Day Safari
Tucked just this side of the Kenyan border and near to the busy city of Arusha lies the little-known jewel of Tanzania, Arusha National Park. At its heart is the 4566m Mount Meru, popular with mountaineers avoiding the too-well-trodden paths of Kilimanjaro. Arusha National Park is less visited than the more famous Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, but it’s for you if you want a beautiful landscape with an incredible variety of flora and fauna
Arusha National Park has an awe-inspiring blend of vegetation which includes swamp, grasslands and montane forest and, of course, the mountain slopes of Meru which are swathed in tropical rainforest. It’s a unique eco-system that attracts thousands of animals and birds.
Our Forgotten Pearl Day Safari will give you the opportunity of getting up close and personal to the animals on a walking safari, but also lets you take in the landscapes on a glorious game drive.

Ensure you have a wholesome early morning meal, as we are set to depart from the market hub of Moshi promptly at 8:00 am for a one-hour journey to Arusha National Park. Once we’ve arrived, you’ll set off on an fantastic walking excursion, led by a ranger who will navigate you through the rainforest and up to a shimmering waterfall where you may observe black and white colobus monkeys in their normal routines. Following a delectable mid-day meal, you’ll board the Land Cruiser for a game viewing ride that extends to broader regions of the park, including the Momella Lakes and the Ngurduto Crater. Expect sightings of buffalo, waterbuck, giraffe, warthogs, zebra, and gazelle, along with a multitude of bird species. With luck, elusive leopards or elephants might also be sighted. Don’t leave your camera behind! After the ride, we’ll return to Moshi.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
