On this 1-day Tanzania safari to Arusha National Park, you will participate in one of the exciting activities in the park, such as game drives where you will be able to view animals like giraffes, zebras, waterbucks, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, primates like blue monkeys, mountain climbing where you will climb Mount Meru, bird watching where you will view migratory, water, endemic and near-endemic bird species like red-fronted parrot, African fish eagle, augur buzzard, spur-winged goose, secretary bird, tawny eagle, bar-tailed trogon, and canoeing activity, which is done on the small Momella Lake.

It is a popular destination for day trip visitors who are about to embark from the town of Arusha on longer northern circuit safaris. 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.
