Today I will present to you the best safari attractions that you can explore while in Arusha for the most wonderful safari experience. There is so much interest and wonder in the safari experience.

Visiting the Momella lakes of Arusha is one of the best and most interesting safari attractions in Arusha National Park. These lakes are seven in number, and they include the big Momella lake and the small Momella lakes, the Kusare, Lekandihro, Tulusia, and Kkhotoito, among others. These lakes are in the alkaline form, and thus the future of both lesser and greater flamingos, and visitors will get the chance to spot these animals once they have visited this wonderful destination. Other than the variety of species of birds, visitors will be able to do canoeing on this lake, which is done in this great national park, and this is lovely and interesting. The canoeing safaris will bring you close to the wildlife of the Arusha national park and you will have clear views of Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro as you are on the canoeing safari and this creates outstanding memories. During the kayak ride along Momella Lake, the travelers are joined by an aide and a skilled kayak paddler. This movement is also carried out on Lake Duluti and Lake Manyara in Tanzania. Other bird species to look out for when visiting Arusha National Park include pelicans, African fish hawks, delegated falcons, and hawks, among others.

Visiting Mount Meru in Arusha National Park: Mount Meru is a dormant volcano located in Arusha National Park, and it is about 4566 meters high, making it the second-highest mountain in Tanzania after the tallest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro. The mountain Meru in Arusha National Park brings several adventures, including hiking, which will involve moving through Arusha National Park. You will need about four days to climb the mountain, and the whole mountain can last for about three days. As you climb, you will be able to see some of the best and most wonderful animals in the Arusha National Park. These animals include the black and white colobus monkeys, giraffes, zebras, and buffaloes, and they can be seen during the hiking safaris. The Momella route has always been used for the ascent and descent when climbing the mountains within the Arusha National Park.

While climbing Mount Meru, the Miriakamba hovel and seat cottage are a convenience where explorers can spend their evenings after a good day of getting over the mountain. During Mount Meru climbs, the peak also provides spectacular views, such as views of the volcanic pit. Climbing Mount Meru in Arusha’s National Park begins and ends at the Momella gate. The four-day trek on Mount Meru begins with a four-to-six-hour walk from Momella’s door to Miriakamba Cottage. The following day, the ascent begins from Miriakamba hovel to the saddle cottage and takes approximately three to five hours. The climbers proceed from Saddle Hovel to the summit and return to Miriakamba Cottage. The final day of the journey begins with a climb from Miriakamba cottage to Momella Door.

Climbing Mount Meru during a tour to Tanzania also prepares hikers for an adventure on Mount Kilimanjaro, and this increases the success rate of getting to the summit of Kilimanjaro. Rangers, porters, guides, and cooks accompany the hikers during their climbing adventure. The cost of climbing Mount Meru during a Tanzania tour is very reasonable, which benefits budget-conscious travelers who want to indulge in a hike while in Tanzania. A hike up Mount Meru is best done during the dry season, which runs from June to October, as well as in January.

The Ngurdoto crater (the Ngurdoto cater) is one of the safari attractions that can be seen during the Arusha safaris. Untamed living species, such as bison, blue monkeys, strikingly contrasted colobus monkeys, elephants, and pronghorns, can also be seen near the hole. The hole was wiped away by volcanic activity and is made up of steep dividers as well as backwoods and meadows. The Ngurdoto hole spans 3.6 kilometers and is 100 meters wide. Waterfalls can also be observed during safaris to Arusha National Park while in Tanzania, including Tululusia Falls, Mount Meru Falls, Napuru Falls, Cave Falls, Maio Falls, and Napuru Falls.
