Arusha National Park & Walking Safari

Day 2Arusha National Park & Walking Safari Arusha National Park & Walking Safari Arusha National Park is a stunning and easily accessible safari destination in northern Tanzania. With its incredible diversity — from Mount Meru to the Momella Lakes and savannah plains — it offers a rich variety of landscapes to explore. It’s one of the few parks in Tanzania where walking safaris are allowed. Accompanied by an armed ranger, you'll learn about the ecosystem while getting thrillingly close to giraffes, buffalo, and warthogs — sometimes just 20 to 30 meters away! After a 1.5-hour bush walk, hop into a Land Cruiser for a classic game drive. At the scenic Momella Lakes, you’ll spot flamingos, pelicans, hornbills, ibises, and over 200 bird species. Want a deeper look at local conservation challenges? Ask your guide to stop at the Ngurdoto Museum. Its exhibits, including poacher snares, highlight the human-wildlife conflict in the region. Wildlife, scenery, and immersive adventure — Arusha has it all!

Tarangire National Park

Day 3Tarangire National Park Tarangire National Park Today, your safari takes you to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s most exciting wildlife spots! The Tarangire River runs through the park, attracting giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and buffaloes —along with the lions that follow them. You’re almost certain to see these majestic predators! During the dry season, the river becomes the only water source for miles, drawing huge elephant herds. Tarangire has Northern Tanzania’s largest elephant population for much of the year (especially June to October and December to March). These gentle giants aren’t shy and often come close to safari vehicles — completely safe, as they have no natural enemies and are simply curious.

Ngorongoro is one of Tanzania’s most famous parks, home to the highest concentration and diversity of wildlife per square kilometer. Expect to see buffalos, elephants, lions, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, and even elusive cats like caracals and servals. If you're lucky, you might even spot a rare rhino! You'll enjoy lunch by a hippo lake before continuing your safari. Afterwards, you can either continue your game drive for another couple of hours or start driving directly to your next lodge.
