A relaxed full-day safari in Arusha National Park, the closest park to Arusha town. After pickup, drive to the park to explore its montane forest, the Ngurdoto Crater viewpoint and the flamingo-fringed Momella Lakes, with excellent chances of giraffe, buffalo, zebra and colobus monkeys. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the park and an optional walking safari or canoe before returning to Arusha in the late afternoon.

PaisagemNgurdoto Crater viewpoint, the Momella Lakes, Mount Meru, lush montane forest, and Kilimanjaro views on clear days.
