Safari summary
This two-day camping safari in Arusha National Park offers a unique and budget-friendly alternative to the more traditional Tanzanian safaris, perfect for those based in Arusha who seek active wildlife encounters. Operating primarily as a group-joining trip, the safari leverages public campsites within the park to keep costs down, providing a true immersion in nature with basic but functional facilities. Day one focuses on exploring the diverse Momella Lakes and Ngurdoto Crater during a game drive, followed by a highlight: a guided walking safari with an armed ranger, allowing for an intimate, on-foot experience with giraffes, zebras, and antelopes before camping overnight. Day two includes a final game drive to maximize wildlife spotting, with an optional canoeing safari on Momella Lakes for a distinct perspective of birdlife and semi-aquatic animals (at extra cost), before returning to Arusha in the afternoon. This safari emphasizes direct engagement with the environment and offers a great value for its unique activities.
