The attractive little town of Arusha is situated beneath the towering peaks of Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro. Renowned as the safari capital of Tanzania, it offers a plethora of attractions and adventures.

Arusha National Park is a perfect trip for day safaris, as it is close to both Arusha and Moshi. With terrain that ranges from open savannah to tropical rainforest, the park is dominated by the shadow of Mt. Meru, whose summit offers an unparalleled view of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Tsavo East National Park is home to most of the larger mammals, vast herds of dust –red elephant, Rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard, pods of hippo, crocodile, waterbucks, Lesser Kudu, Gerenuk, and Hirola.

The Aberdare National Park lies in the Aberdare mountain range and extends over a wide variety of terrain. Moorlands, full of mist, bamboo, and rainforests where elephants roam through the thick, dense vegetation, spectacular waterfalls, plunging into pools and streams filled with trout, and mountain peaks up to 4000 metres high. The Aberdares are an important water catchment area providing water to the Tana and Athi rivers, both among the largest rivers in Kenya.

Gombe Stream National Park is a great place to see chimps up close and personal, as many of the family groups are habituated to humans. With the possible exception of Mahale Mountains National Park, no other park in Africa can offer such a magnificent experience with chimpanzees.

Shaba National Reserve is a land of volcanic formations, doum palm forests, and wild rivers where rare wildlife and centuries-old culture meet in one of Kenya’s most magical safari destinations. Located off the beaten path in northern Kenya, Shaba offers a quieter, more soulful alternative to more crowded parks—yet remains deeply rewarding in its biodiversity, landscapes, and stories.
