Overview
Embark on an unforgettable Arusha National Park Day Trip with Wild Kings Africa, where diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife await just a short drive from Arusha or Moshi. Nestled at the base of Mount Meru, this compact yet stunning park offers a perfect introduction to Tanzania’s natural beauty — from lush rainforests and sparkling crater lakes to sweeping savannahs and rugged mountain slopes.
During your adventure, you’ll explore the Ngurdoto Crater, often called the “Little Ngorongoro,” and marvel at the Momella Lakes, famous for their colorful flamingos and reflections of Mount Kilimanjaro. The park is home to giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, colobus monkeys, warthogs, and a variety of bird species. While large predators are rare, the park’s tranquility and scenery make it an ideal destination for nature lovers, photographers, and bird watchers alike.
Guests can enjoy a guided game drive, a nature walk accompanied by a park ranger, or even a canoeing experience on Momella Lake for a unique perspective of the wildlife. Whether you’re relaxing under the acacia trees or admiring Mount Meru’s towering presence, a day trip to Arusha National Park with Wild Kings Africa promises a refreshing and rewarding experience — a perfect start or finish to your Tanzanian adventure.
