Giraffes, buffalo, and Mount Meru’s shadow — a compact safari day close to Arusha town. Often overlooked in favor of the bigger northern parks, Arusha National Park packs a lot into a small area: giraffe wander the acacia woodland, colobus monkeys move through the canopy, and buffalo graze the swamp edges. A game drive covers the park’s highlights, with an optional canoe trip on Momella Lakes for a different vantage point on the wildlife and birdlife.Duration: 1 DayLocation: Arusha National Park, TanzaniaStyle: Day safari — game drive, optional canoeingStart: ArushaEnd: Arusha
