Day trips
Day trips from Arusha.
Already in Arusha, or only have a day? One park, back by dinner.
Six ways to spend a day
Each one leaves from your hotel in the morning and has you back the same evening, with a guide, park fees, lunch and water included. The further the park, the longer the day, and we'll tell you honestly when a day is too much.
