Arusha National Park Trek
Canoeing Momella Lakes, trekking through fig forest, and the shadow of Meru on the Kilimanjaro horizon.
Arusha National Park is one of Tanzania's most varied and undervisited parks — and it begins just 20 minutes from Arusha town. Three days of canoe safaris on the alkaline Momella Lakes, guided walks through the lush Ngurdoto Crater forest, and the option to ascend Mount Meru's lower slopes with extraordinary views of Kilimanjaro across the plains.
The Itinerary
Drive 20 minutes from Arusha to the park gate. Begin with a canoe safari on Momella's alkaline lakes — lesser flamingo, hippo, and buffalo at the water's edge. Afternoon walk through the fig forest to the Tululusia waterfall.

In their own words.
Twelve days, three parks, one lifetime.
"Twelve days, three parks, one lifetime. Aya read us better than we read ourselves — every camp, every meal, every silence, placed exactly where it should have been."
