Arusha National Park Day Trip Safari
Arusha National Park
Arusha National park covers an area of about 137square kilometers. It is
located near Arusha town between the peaks of Mountains Kilimanjaro and
Meru. The Park and the town derive their name from Wa-Arusha people who
traditionally live in this area. The Ngurdoto Crater, Momela Lakes, the
highland mountain forest, and the rugged Mount Meru (4575m) are the four
distinctive features of the park.
Although small, the park has a wealth of wildlife including Colobus
monkeys, velvet monkeys, bushbucks, buffaloes, red forest duikers,
hippos, elephants and giraffes. Bird life, especially waterfowl, is
abundant and interesting. You can do some hiking with an armed ranger at
the Ngurdoto Crater and to the Mt. Meru Crater. This is a good trip for
people who have a short stay in Tanzania.

Lake Manyara National Park Day Trip
Lake Manyara National Park is famous for its diverse wildlife, its
relatively small size makes it ideal for an exiting day trip filled with
many adventures.
In the early morning, we will collect you from your hotel and drive you
to Lake Manyara National Park. The park encompasses the northwest bank
and part of the alkaline Lake Manyara which itself rests in the Great
Rift Valley. The park is perhaps best known for its flamingos, pelicans
and cormorants but it is also the home for a few hundred other species
of birds; it is therefore a paradise for ornithologists. Next to a great
variety of birds, the "Big Game" can also be seen in which elephants can
often be spotted in the wooded regions along with the tree-climbing
lions. Indeed, it was thought for a long time that this spot is the only
place where lions can be found with this atypical behaviour of climbing
trees. Baboons and guenons are also found amongst the forested areas and
in the more open spaces, giraffes nibble at the fresh leaves while the
various types of antelopes common to the region browse for tasty shoots.
After a picnic lunch, there will be more time for further game and
wildlife watching before it is time to return to Arusha.
