Day trips from Arusha.

Day trips from Arusha and Moshi, for the days either side of a climb, or a first taste of Tanzania before the long safari begins. These are the ten things to do in Arusha and Moshi we run most: parks, waterfalls, hot springs, the Monduli hills and the town itself. Private, with pick-up at your hotel. Park days follow the rules and fees set by Tanzania National Parks.

IIFull day

Full-day trips from Arusha and Moshi: out all day. 7 trips.

Out after breakfast, back before dark — a park, a waterfall or the hills.
