Make sure you have an early (and tasty!) breakfast since we depart at 9:00 a.m. sharp for the hour-long drive to Arusha National Park. Pick up from your hotel and drive to the park; once there, you'll stretch your legs on an out-of-this-world walking safari (optional with an additional fee), accompanied by a ranger who will guide you through the rainforest up to a sparkling waterfall where you'll be able to see black and white colobus monkeys going about their business. After a delicious lunch, you'll board a Land Cruiser for a game drive through the park's larger areas, including the Lakes of Momella and the Ngurduto Crater, where you'll most likely see buffalo, waterbuck, giraffe, warthogs, zebra, and gazelle, as well as a variety of birds. If you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of a shy leopard or elephant. Do not forget your camera! Following the wildlife drive, you will be transported back to Arusha. Drop-off at the hotel.
1-Day Arusha National Park – Forgotten Safari Pearl
Uganda: Private tour • 1 day
Tour overview
At its core sits 4566m Mount Meru, a popular destination for mountaineers looking to avoid the well-trodden slopes of Kilimanjaro. Arusha National Park is less popular than the more well-known Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, but it offers a stunning environment with an astounding variety of flora and fauna - but with fewer people! This park contains an incredible variety of vegetation, including swamps, grasslands, and montane forest, as well as a unique eco-system that attracts thousands of animals and birds.
