Arusha National Park Day Tour

Written By Naick Msemo

TANZANIA DAY TOUR OVERVIEW

Moshi is an idyllic small town on the footsteps of the mighty Kilimanjaro. At an altitude of 800m, nestled between rice and banana fields and endless green mountain slopes, it is the ideal starting point for climbing Kilimanjaro. But even if summiting Kilimanjaro is not on your bucket list, Moshi is well worth a visit.

Whether you want to dive into the bustling markets or people watch from one of the many street cafés, the city thrills visitors with its charm and friendliness of people. Home to the business minded Chagga people, Moshi offers travelers a variety of day trips into the surroundings.

Itinerary

ARUSHA NATIONAL PARK DAY TOUR

07:30 Pick up from the Hotel and drive to Arusha National Park – Momella Gate for a Nature walk with an armed ranger at the slope of Mount Meru.

Arusha National Park is a gem of varied ecosystems and spectacular views of Mt. Meru, the crater that gives the region its name. The small national park includes the slopes, summit, and ash cone of Mt. Meru, the Momela Lakes, Ngurdoto Crater, and the lush highland forests that blanket its lower slopes. Game viewing around the Momela Lakes is at a laid-back and quiet pace, and while passing through the forest many visitors stop to search for troupes of rare colobus monkeys playing in the canopy.

Hot lunch will be served at Momella Wildlife Lodge, followed by afternoon game viewing in Arusha national park, visiting the Momella lakes and Ngurdoto crater.

Late in the afternoon drive back to Moshi and drop off at your Hotel.
