Arusha National Park Day Tour

Tour overview

Arusha National Park (ANAPA) is a treasure trove of diverse ecosystems and breathtaking vistas of Mt. Meru, the prominent crater that lends its name to the region. It serves as a favored destination for day-trippers departing from the town of Arusha, either as a precursor to longer northern circuit safaris or Kilimanjaro climbs. This compact national park encompasses the slopes, summit, and ash cone of Mt. Meru, the picturesque Momela Lakes, Ngurdoto Crater, and the verdant highland forests adorning its lower reaches. Wildlife viewing around the tranquil Momela Lakes unfolds at a leisurely pace, with many visitors pausing during forest traverses to catch glimpses of rare colobus monkeys frolicking in the treetops.

Arusha National Park stands as a multifaceted gem, often overlooked by safari enthusiasts despite its rich offering of diverse habitats accessible within a short timeframe. It remains the sole destination on the northern safari circuit where the acrobatic black-and-white colobus monkey can be readily observed. The lakeshores, occasionally tinged pink by the presence of numerous flamingos, provide habitat for a diverse array of resident and migratory waterfowl, alongside stately waterbucks showcasing their imposing lyre-shaped horns along the water’s edge.

THE BEST TOUR AGENCY FOR KILIMANJARO TREKKING AND WILDLIFE SAFARIES This was the first time I had travelled with Mr Lyimo . The company specialises in expert-led cultural and wildlife tours in Tanzania East Africa. Group numbers are small, accommodation at the hotel in Moshi Kilimajaro was comfortable and food excellent. The expert mountain and safari guide who accompanied us was outstanding - passionate, informative, engaging and entertaining. The itinerary for 6 days Climbing Kilimanjaro and 5 Days wildlife safari was very well thought out, combining leisure time with activity and not-to-be-missed opportunities to swim in the Kikuletwa Hot springs ( Maji Moto) . The client is obviously at the heart of the itinerary planning, and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational holiday with fine food - they will deliver! Thanks Mr Lyimo for your good arrangement.
