Arusha National Park – A Hidden Gem of Biodiversity
Located at the foothills of Mount Meru, Arusha National Park is a paradise of diverse ecosystems. Unlike many other parks in Tanzania, Arusha offers a mix of montane forests, rolling grasslands, and sparkling lakes, creating a haven for unique wildlife encounters.

Ngurdoto Crater – A spectacular volcanic crater often called the “Little Ngorongoro,” home to buffalo, warthogs, and baboons.
Momella Lakes – A collection of alkaline lakes that attract thousands of flamingos, hippos, and a variety of waterbirds such as pelicans, herons, and Egyptian geese.
Mount Meru – Tanzania’s second-highest mountain, offering breathtaking landscapes and a chance to spot colobus monkeys, giraffes, and elephants.
Diverse Wildlife – While the park doesn’t have large predators like lions, it is home to giraffes, zebras, leopards, bushbucks, and blue monkeys.
Arusha National Park is also one of the few parks in Tanzania where you can enjoy a walking safari, allowing you to experience wildlife up close under the guidance of an expert ranger.

Tarangire National Park – The Land of Giants
Famous for its ancient baobab trees and large elephant herds, Tarangire National Park offers an authentic African safari experience with breathtaking landscapes and an abundance of wildlife.

Elephant Paradise – Tarangire is home to one of Africa’s largest elephant populations, with herds of up to 300 elephants roaming freely.
Big Cats & Predators – Spot lions, leopards, and cheetahs lurking in the grasslands, along with hyenas and wild dogs.
The Tarangire River – A lifeline for wildlife during the dry season, attracting thousands of animals, including buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, and gazelles.
Rare Wildlife – Look out for the fringe-eared oryx, greater kudu, and the elusive African wild dogs, which are rarely seen in other parks.
Birdwatcher’s Haven – With over 550 bird species, Tarangire is a paradise for bird lovers. Spot colorful species like the yellow-collared lovebird, lilac-breasted roller, and the Kori bustard.
This safari is perfect for travelers who want to experience both lush landscapes and classic African savanna scenery, offering game drives, walking safaris, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
