Tour Plan

Arusha National Park visit should give you an introduction of what you will be seeing in the other parks that you will be visiting. Despite the small size of the park, it is a habitat for common animals including giraffe, Cape buffalo, zebra, warthog, the black-and-white Colobus monkey, the blue monkey, flamingo, elephant, bushbuck and many other African animals. Birdlife in the forest is prolific, with many forest species more easily seen here than elsewhere on the tourist route - Narina trogon and bar-tailed trogon are both possible highlights for visiting birders, whilst the range of starling species provide somewhat less gaudy interest. To make this more interesting you will get a chance to explore the park on a walking safari. Get a chance to be up close with nature’s beauty with loving sounds of birds, sight of animals such as zebras and giraffes and the beautiful landscape of the park. Don’t worry you will be escorted by a trained ranger on this execution so all is well with your exploration. After the thrills of the day you will be taken back to your hotel for the night.
