What type of adventure are you looking for?
At our tour company, we believe every traveler’s Arusha experience should match their spirit of adventure. Craving heart-pounding thrills? Opt for a challenging 3-4 day trek up Mount Meru’s knife-edge crater rim, where panoramic views of Mount Kilimanjaro await at the summit – it’s the ultimate warm-up for Kili climbers. Prefer a serene escape? Glide across the alkaline Momella Lakes in a canoe, surrounded by waterbirds and hippo pods, or wander Tululusia Hill’s trails for 360-degree vistas of the park’s lush valleys. For families or relaxed explorers, a ranger-led walking safari lets you stroll among grazing zebras and warthogs, feeling the pulse of the savannah underfoot – a rare, predator-free immersion unique to Arusha. Birders, rejoice: the wetlands teem with migratory species from June to October. Whatever your vibe – adrenaline-fueled hikes, gentle paddles, or cultural village tours with the Maasai and Meru communities – we’ve got the itinerary to make it epic.

About Kilimanjaro
All You Want to Know About Wildlife in the Park
it's a biodiversity hotspot with over 30 mammal species and 750 birds thriving across its zones. While climbers may spot elusive creatures during lower-altitude hikes, the montane forests and Shira Plateau are prime for sightings.
Blue monkeys swing through clouded canopies along Marangu and Rongai routes, while bushbucks, elands, and grey duikers graze moorlands. Elephants occasionally roam from neighboring Amboseli, and buffalo herds dot the northern slopes—Rongai offers the best odds. Spot colobus monkeys, hyraxes, serval cats, and bushbabies at dawn or dusk; leopards lurk in denser forests, though they're masters of camouflage.
A birder's paradise! Silvery-cheeked hornbills echo through valleys, sunbirds flit in heaths, and ravens soar near the summit.
Larger icons like giraffes and zebras wander lower plains, best viewed via guided walks or combined safaris. Conservation efforts protect these species, with no rhinos left but thriving antelope populations. Enhance your trek with our wildlife-focused add-ons—nature's drama unfolds at every elevation.
Kilimanjaro National Park
Nestled just 300 kilometers south of the equator in Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro Region, near the bustling town of Moshi, Kilimanjaro National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. Spanning approximately 75,575 hectares, this protected gem safeguards the world’s largest free-standing volcanic massif, crowned by Mount Kilimanjaro—the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 meters. Established in 1973 and expanded in 2005 to include the montane forests, the park rises dramatically from surrounding savannas, featuring three volcanic cones: Kibo (the snow-capped summit), Mawenzi, and Shira.
From lush rainforests teeming with biodiversity to alpine deserts and arctic glaciers, the park’s five distinct ecological zones offer a trek through Earth’s climatic history. Managed by the Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA), it’s a haven for adventurers, drawing over 58,000 visitors annually—many to conquer the “Roof of Africa.” With Kilimanjaro International Airport just 86 km away, accessing this wonder is seamless, making it the perfect launchpad for your Tanzanian odyssey.
