Enjoy an unforgettable Arusha National Park Day Trip with exciting game drives to spot giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, warthogs, baboons, and colorful birdlife. This is one of Tanzania’s most diverse parks, rich in both fauna and flora. In the morning, your driver-guide will collect you from your Arusha hotel and take you on a scenic drive to the park, famous for its lush forests, lakes, and views of Mount Meru. The park’s beauty even caught Hollywood’s attention — it was the filming location for the classic movie Hatari starring John Wayne and Hardy Krüger.
You’ll visit the Ngurdoto Crater, often called “Little Ngorongoro,” before continuing to the Momella Lakes, home to flamingos and waterbirds. At Momella Gate, an armed ranger will lead a guided walking safari, giving you the rare chance to explore on foot and observe wildlife up close. After a picnic lunch in nature, enjoy one final game drive before returning comfortably to Arusha — ending your Tanzania day safari filled with adventure and incredible memories.
