This safari is perfect for those who only have a 2-day stay in Tanzania and wish to visit, experience and have great memories of two of Tanzania safari destinations. Marvel at the amazing landscapes and spectacular wildlife of Mkomazi National Park and Arusha National Park. This is one of our most popular tours as it allows you to spend a very reasonable amount of time in these two destinations.
After breakfast you will be met by our guide/driver, who will deliver a short briefing before heading into Mkomazi National Park for a game drive. The park takes its name from a word from Pare tribe denoting “scoop of water”, referring to little water. Mkomazi is a virgin breathtaking beauty exhibiting unique natural treasures and immense sense of space, which adds to the fulfilment of visitor enjoyment expectations, which is a much needed bridge between Tanzania’s northern circuit and coastal attractions. It is a fantastic destination for birdwatchers, with more than 450 avian species recorded, among them are the dry country endemics such as the cobalt chested vulturine guinea-fowl, other large ground birds such as ostrich, kori bustard, secretary bird, ground hornbill and some migratory species including the Eurasian roller. The park is also a vital refuge for two highly endangered species, the charismatic black rhino and the sociable African wild dog, both of which were successfully reintroduced in the 1990s.
In the afternoon we eat lunch at picnic spot after which we continue with game until late evening, and then drive to the accommodation for overnight.
You will be picked up in the morning by our English-speaking guide and together you head to the entrance of Arusha National Park, the Ngongongare Gate. After the formalities are finished, the day’s adventure can start. Arusha National Park is one of Tanzania’s smaller parks and is a popular destination for day trips due to its proximity to Moshi and Arusha. Despite its size, the park offers a spectacular landscape and a diverse wildlife population. Giraffes, zebras, antelopes, buffalos, warthogs, baboons, colobus monkeys, blue monkeys and other animals can be seen all year round – as well as a large variety of bird species. With luck, you will also see leopards, elephants and hyenas.
The park’s three most significant features include Mount Meru (Tanzania’s second highest peak at 4566m), the notably different colored Momella Lakes, and the 3km wide Ngurdoto Crater, which was formed about fifteen million years ago. Due to its stunning beauty, many scenes of the Hollywood classic “Hatari” starring John Wayne and Hardy Krüger were filmed here.
First we will drive to the Momella Gate where an armed ranger will be waiting for you to accompany you on a walking safari. Here you will have the unique opportunity to observe the wild animals close up. Only a few other national parks in Tanzania give you such an opportunity and it is something that should not be missed. After thoroughly enjoying the walking safari, you will have lunch at a picnic spot with a wonderful view over the Momella Lakes. In the afternoon you will continue with an exciting game drive, where you will see the Ngurdoto Crater and other places. During the drive, your experienced guide will tell you everything you need to know about the park, the landscape and the animals.
In the late afternoon, just before the park closes, your driver will escort you back to the hotel or airport which ends our safari packages services . On the way back, you can enjoy the sunset and your memories of the day.
