Explore the Scenic Beauty of Arusha National Park
Nestled at the foothills of Mount Meru, Arusha National Park is a hidden gem offering breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife. Unlike other parks in Tanzania, Arusha National Park is known for its stunning mix of ecosystems, including lush rainforests, open savannas, and the beautiful Momella Lakes. The park is home to an abundance of wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, warthogs, and various primate species. It is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with flamingos and countless other bird species gracing the lakes.
Early Morning Pickup and Scenic Drive

As midday approaches, we take a break at the scenic Momella Lakes, where you can enjoy a packed lunch while admiring the tranquil surroundings. For those seeking an extra adventure, an optional canoe safari is available on the lakes, offering a peaceful way to observe hippos, waterbirds, and the reflection of Mount Meru in the water.
