A short, activity-varied safari to Arusha National Park combining a game drive, a walking safari with an armed ranger, and a canoe safari on the Momella Lakes beneath Mount Meru.

Arusha National Park is compact but unusually varied, combining montane forest, the Momella Lakes and views of Mount Meru and (on clear days) Kilimanjaro. It's one of the few parks in Tanzania offering both walking safaris and canoeing, giving a genuinely different pace and perspective from a standard vehicle-based game drive.
