Arusha National Park

In the morning, we will collect you from your hotel in Arusha and take you to Arusha National Park. The park has an incredible variety of fauna and flora, which cannot fail to impress. Hollywood also chose this region to film the movie "Hatari" in which Hardy Kruger starred alongside the legendary John Wayne.
Your day trip will include a visit to Ngurdoto Crater. Buffaloes, waterbucks, giraffes, warthogs, zebras, and baboons can be seen all year round, as well as many different bird species. At the Momella Gate, an armed ranger will be waiting to accompany you on your walking safari that will give you the chance to experience the wildlife up-close.
Lunch will be taken at a picnic place, and in the afternoon, you will continue your tour in the safari vehicle through the Arusha National Park. After plenty of time allocated for you to observe the wildlife, we will take you back to Arusha
