Your day begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha (50min drive) or Moshi (1.5hrs). Enter the park and set off on a game drive, where you’ll quickly spot:
- Towering giraffes grazing near acacias.
- Buffalo herds wallowing in the marshes.
- Troops of colobus monkeys with their flowing black-and-white fur.
Visit the Ngurdoto Crater, a volcanic bowl teeming with animals, then continue to the Momella Lakes, where flamingos paint the shores pink. After a picnic lunch under the shade of a giant fig tree, take a short walk with an armed ranger (optional) through the rainforest one of the few parks allowing walking safaris!
End the day with a final game drive, searching for bushbucks and dik-diks, before returning to Arusha/Moshi by evening.
