Welcome to our Day trip to Arusha National Park! Anyone visiting this park will be thrilled by the breathtaking landscapes.
Arusha National Park is a hidden gem that packs a world of diversity into a single, breathtaking afternoon. Nestled between the towering peaks of Mount Meru and the distant, snowy crown of Kilimanjaro, this park offers a landscape like no other. From the tranquil, alkaline waters of the Momella Lakes—often painted pink by thousands of flamingos—to the lush, misty depths of the Ngurdoto Crater, every turn reveals a new ecosystem. Keep your binoculars ready for the acrobatic Black-and-white Colobus monkeys swinging through the ancient canopy, and enjoy the rare thrill of a walking safari where you can feel the pulse of the African bush beneath your feet. It’s an intimate, vibrant escape that proves you don’t have to travel far to find the extraordinary.

Pick up at Arusha and drive to Arusha National Park.
A green jewel and home to the fourth highest mountain in Africa – Mount Meru (4,566 m). Anyone visiting this park will be thrilled by the breathtaking landscapes ranging from the Meru Crater in the west, the Ngurdoto Crater in the south-east to the grasslands, and of course the alkaline Momella Lakes in the north-east.
The park is famous for its very many varieties of trees, as well as for the no less numerous species of birds that inhabit it: pink flamingos, pelicans, ibis, touracos, crowned eagles, fish eagles, Verreaux’s eagles, not to mention a multitude of small birds that are unknown to the general public. It is also home to giraffes, zebras, cobes, warthogs, buffaloes, elephants, colobus monkeys, hippos, leopards… Divided into three zones, the park includes, to the south-east, the Ngurdoto Crater region, about 3 km in diameter, which can only be seen from above and resembles a miniature Ngorongoro, except that rhinos have been completely exterminated from the area by hunting and then poaching.
Picnic lunch will be served in one of the sites in the park. Later in the afternoon, drive back to Arusha city and to your hotel.
