Make sure you have an early (and good!) breakfast because we'll leave Arusha at 07hr00 sharp for the hour's drive to Arusha National Park. After all gate checks, we'll go on a game drive that will take you through a broader scope of the park, including the Lakes of Momella and the Ngurdoto Crater, where you'll most likely see buffalo, waterbuck, giraffe, warthogs, zebra, and gazelle, as well as a variety of bird species. If you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of a shy leopard or elephant! After the drive, you will be taken back to Arusha/Airport.

Independent feedback from travellers who explored Uganda with us
We chose Adventure in the Wild Safaris after reading reviews and were not disappointed. Bwindi gorilla day and Lake Mburo extension were both superbly organised.
Knowledgeable guides, clean vehicles, and thoughtful itinerary design. We felt we saw the real Uganda without rushing — exactly what we wanted from a local operator.
Your company's planning and execution are excellent, well worth your money and time. Permits, lodges, and transport were handled without stress — we could focus on the wildlife.
Our first gorilla trek was handled perfectly — briefing, pacing, and lodge choices all made sense. Adventure in the Wild Safaris is a team you can trust in Uganda.
Gorilla permits, transfers, and lodge standards were all handled professionally. Our ranger briefing was thorough and the trek itself was the experience of a lifetime.
A flawless family safari — patient guides, thoughtful pacing, and help with permits made this the trip of a lifetime. The team genuinely cares about guests.
We combined chimps, gorillas, and Queen Elizabeth — everything connected seamlessly. Adventure in the Wild Safaris delivered exactly what they promised.
Great value for a private safari. Our guide knew the parks intimately and adjusted the route when wildlife sightings were best. Highly recommend for photographers.
