Day 2: Arusha National Park – Misty Forests & Mountain Trails

After a gentle wake-up and a light morning bite, set off for a full-day exploration of Arusha National Park. Nestled between Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro, this compact gem offers a surprising variety of landscapes — from lush montane forests and sparkling lakes to open grasslands known as “Little Serengeti.”

Your guide will lead you through winding trails and scenic viewpoints, with opportunities to spot giraffes, buffaloes, warthogs, and the acrobatic black-and-white colobus monkeys. Around midday, pause for a picnic lunch beside the tranquil Momella Lakes, often dotted with flamingos and pelicans.

For those seeking a deeper connection to the terrain, you may opt to swap a game drive for a guided bushwalk — a chance to experience the park’s flora and fauna on foot. Return to your lodge in the late afternoon for a warm dinner and relaxed evening.
