2 nights in Arusha, 4 nights on Safari | Private Tour | Comfort Plus | SPCP18
This seven-day safari is ideal for those who love a bit of activity while on holiday. Two walking safaris give you time to stretch your legs, while a spot of canoeing will also keep you fit. Relax the mind with our Manyara yoga session, a super way to unwind in a beautiful setting. But we don’t ever forget our wildlife: there are ample opportunities to spot some of the colorful birds and fascinating animal species that our beautiful country has to offer.
Your driver-guide will take you safely on this journey full of adventure. Expert at spotting and identifying birdlife, no-one knows the animal routines better. He will provide you with a deep insight into our country’s culture, too, bringing real color to your safari. Enjoy this seven-day adventure!

An excellent restaurant and welcoming bar provide refreshments during your stay and a dedicated hotel team will tend to your every need.
Walking Safari in Arusha National Park
Accompanied by a park ranger, we will choose from a number of routes, depending on what this small but beautiful park has to offer today and how far you might want to walk. Your park ranger might show you the deep holes dug by aardvarks, or explain how an acacia tree emits a warning scent to other acacias! Be on the lookout for zebra, duiker, giraffe and hippo. The black-and-white colobus monkey is a favorite in this park, while in the skies, egrets and sacred ibis can often be observed. Even the trees have a story to tell. You might meet the aptly named strangler fig, which sucks the life out of other trees. You might encounter warthog and buffalo, often seen together, with the former possessing a good sense of sight and hearing, while the buffalo relies on smell to alert to impending danger. A perfect symbiosis.
You might also have the chance to visit one of the park’s picturesque waterfalls, such as Talulusia, as it plummets 30 metres down to a rocky base.
After our walking safari, we will enjoy our well-earned lunch, before our afternoon activities.
Afternoon Game Drive in Arusha National Park
It may be small, but Arusha National Park can boast a number of highlights, which your morning activities will have demonstrated! But this afternoon, we will relax in our vehicle as your driver-guide shows you the rest of what this little gem has to offer.
And its areas are impressively different, with Mount Meru towering above the Momela Lakes, the montane forest area and the perfectly formed crater of Ngurdoto. In some ways, this is a Tanzania in miniature!
