Start with pickup at your hotel in Arusha at 8am, then begin the 50-minute drive to Arusha National Park, passing through a scenic landscape of coffee plantations and small villages. Upon arrival at the park, joined an armed ranger for a walking tour across the plains, heading up the ascent route on the side of Mount Meru for panoramic views of the park—the towering stratovolcano is long dormant, and is among the tallest mountains in Africa.
Head back to the vehicle and drive to the nearby Momella Lakes, a series of seven alkaline lakes that draw flamingoes throughout the year. You can enjoy the view with a picnic lunch (additional cost of USD $10), with the option to add a canoe safari across the lake (canoe safari is not included in the price of this tour).
Alternately, spend the afternoon on a relaxed game drive through Arusha National Park, watching for some of the Cape buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and monkeys that live within the relatively small reserve. At the end of the afternoon, begin the return trip to Arusha, where this tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel.

Here, an armed ranger will join before setting out across open plains for your leisurely morning walking safari in the shadows of Mt Meru. Heading up the ascent route of Mt Meru gives an interesting perspective on viewing wildlife with great panoramics of the park below.
Once back down at the gate, drive the short distance to Momella Lakes for a picnic lunch (additional cost of $10 USD). Here, you can take enjoy a canoeing safari (optional) on the lake or continue with afternoon game drives through the park at a relaxed pace.
