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.
Every day of our itinerary has been meticulously crafted to ensure you have an unforgettable experience. From discovering iconic landmarks to savoring delectable local dishes, each day promises adventure and thrill. Come along with us as we guide you through a journey across some of the most captivating destinations on the planet.
In the morning, we will collect you from your hotel in Moshi/Arusha and transport you to Arusha National Park. Renowned for its remarkable variety of flora and fauna, the park promises an unforgettable experience. Your day trip will feature a visit to Ngurdo Crater, where sightings of buffaloes, waterbucks, giraffes, warthogs, zebras, and baboons are common throughout the year, alongside numerous bird species. Upon arrival at Momella Gate, a trained guard ranger will be ready to guide you on a walking safari, providing an intimate encounter with the wildlife. This unique opportunity, offered by only a select few national parks in Tanzania, is not to be missed. Lunch will be enjoyed at a designated picnic area, followed by an afternoon safari vehicle tour through Arusha National Park. Ample time will be allotted for wildlife observation before we return you to Arusha/Moshi.

Maya N2024-12-23Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Climb Lemosho route with Golden Bamboo Tours I had an amazing experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route in October with Golden Bamboo Tours. From the start, the planning and arrangements for the trip were seamless. We stayed at a comfortable 3-star hotel in Moshi Town, where the team made sure everything was in place for the climb. On the arrival day, the guides meticulously checked all our trekking and camping gear to ensure everything was ready, followed by a detailed briefing about the Lemosho route.Once on the mountain, the team’s support was outstanding. Their singing and dancing kept us motivated and energized throughout the journey. Our chef, Joseph, prepared delicious meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—providing us with the energy we needed each day.Our guides, Deo, Ibrahim, and Jackson, were exceptional. They led us at a steady "polepole" (slowly, slowly) pace, offering valuable insights about the Lemosho route and the mountain. Their expertise and encouragement made a huge difference in helping us achieve our goal.A big thank you to the entire team for their unwavering support, and a special mention to Mr. Lyimo for the excellent trip preparation and organization from our arrival in Tanzania to our departure.I highly recommend Golden Bamboo Tours to anyone planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro—it was truly an unforgettable experience!Verified

Oliver R2023-12-12THE 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.VerifiedTRAVEL J2023-11-09KILIMANJARO TREKKING , MATERUNI WATERFALLS,KIKULETWA HOTSPRINGS AND WILDLIFE SAFARI We booked a trip to Tanzania East Africa with Mr. Mboya the owner of Golden bamboo tours is the best corporate travel agent i have everworked with ..From a customer experience perspective, hes service is superlative..
