Experience the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s wilderness with Kili Vista Expeditions’ Arusha National Park Day Trip—a journey that blends classic game viewing with an unforgettable guided walking safari. Travel in a private 4×4 safari vehicle alongside an expert Kili Vista guide as you explore a park renowned for its striking landscapes and diverse wildlife. From towering giraffes and grazing buffalo to playful colobus monkeys and vibrant birdlife, this adventure offers a rich taste of safari in just one day.
If you’re short on time but want a genuine glimpse into the world of Tanzanian safaris, this private one-day safari with Kili Vista Expeditions is an ideal choice. Arusha National Park is incredibly scenic, with sweeping views of Mount Meru, the Momella Lakes, and the forested walls of Ngurdoto Crater. Its varied habitats attract an equally varied range of animals, meaning you may encounter zebras, hippos, warthogs, fish eagles, and many more species throughout the day. Your experienced Kili Vista guide will share fascinating insights and stories about the wildlife and landscapes, making the experience both exciting and informative. We offer private pick-up and drop-off from your Arusha hotel for a seamless travel experience.
Your adventure begins in the morning when a Kili Vista Expeditions driver-guide collects you from your Arusha hotel and escorts you to Arusha National Park. The park’s lush forests, open grasslands, crater lakes, and volcanic formations create a breathtaking environment filled with exceptional flora and fauna. This region was even chosen as the filming location for the classic Hollywood movie Hatari, starring Hardy Kruger and John Wayne.
Your day trip includes a visit to the spectacular Ngurdoto Crater, often called the “Little Ngorongoro,” where you’ll have the chance to observe buffalo, waterbucks, zebras, giraffes, baboons, and many bird species. At the Momella Gate, an armed ranger will meet you for an exciting walking safari—a rare opportunity to step out of the vehicle and experience Tanzania’s wildlife on foot. Few parks in the country offer this experience, making it a true highlight of any visit.
You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch in one of the designated scenic areas before continuing your afternoon game drive across the park. After ample time exploring and wildlife spotting with your Kili Vista Expeditions guide, you’ll return to Arusha with wonderful memories of a beautifully diverse national park.
