Why we love it?

This one-day tour from Moshi, Tanzania, offers a guided exploration of Arusha National Park through a combination of game drives and walking safaris. You'll experience the diverse wildlife and landscapes of the park, including a wildlife drive around the Momella Lakes known for bird watching and a visit to the Ngurdoto Crater, often called "Little Ngorongoro." The itinerary includes a scenic drive, a picnic lunch with views of Mount Meru, and the chance to observe animals up close with the guidance of an armed ranger. This tour suits travelers interested in both active walking and vehicle-based wildlife viewing in a relatively compact but ecologically rich setting.
