Expedition Overview

The Sanctuary Experience

Often called the hidden treasure of Northern Tanzania, Arusha National Park is dominated by the dramatic volcanic pyramid of Mount Meru (4,566m). Boasting a diverse tapestry of habitats within a compact area—from the tranquil, algae-rich Momella Lakes alive with waterfowl to the steep forested walls of Ngurdoto Crater—it offers rare safari walking treks, canoe excursions, and guaranteed sightings of the acrobatic black-and-white colobus monkey.
