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.
