Momella Safari in Tanzania

Travel Program

The safari begins at Kilimanjaro International Airport where you meet your guide and transfer to the city of Arusha. The journey takes approximately one hour.

Arusha is located at 1,350 meters above sea level, on the slopes of Mount Meru which stands in the national park that takes its name from the city and the climate is mild throughout the year.

If the flight arrived in the late morning or early afternoon, you could plan a tour of the city, a lunch in a typical restaurant or a bit of relaxation to acclimatize to the African climate and landscape.

This park is located a few kilometers from the city and is one of the most fascinating parks in the country. Although relatively small (552 square kilometers), it offers an extraordinary variety of landscapes and habitats.

The main attractions of the park:

  1. Mount Meru: an active volcano and the second highest mountain in Tanzania (4,566 meters). It is a popular destination for trekking lovers.
  2. Ngurdoto Crater: known as the ‘little Ngorongoro’, it is a volcanic crater rich in vegetation and habitat for many species of animals, including buffalo, monkeys and birds.
  3. Momella Lakes: a series of 7 alkaline lakes famous for their abundance of flamingos and other aquatic birds.
  4. Montane Forest: habitat of black and white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys and a rich biodiversity of plants.
  5. Wildlife: The park is home to giraffes, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, leopards and a wide variety of birds, but there are no lions and few elephants.

The park offers jeep safaris, walking safaris, canoeing on the Momella Lakes and bird watching.

It is an ideal park for those who want to start or end a safari in northern Tanzania.

A safari in the Ngorongoro Crater offers an unforgettable experience of immersion in the wilderness.

The day starts early to take advantage of the cooler hours, when the animals are most active.

You descend along the slopes of the crater, admiring the breathtaking view of this volcanic caldera.

During the safari you stop in a safe area for a picnic lunch immersed in nature.

In the afternoon you proceed with another safari, perhaps focusing on different areas to spot other animals. In addition, you can visit a Maasai village in the surroundings.

The day ends with a breathtaking sunset seen from the top of the crater or from the surrounding lodges. The changing colors of the sky are reflected in the grasslands and lakes of the crater.

The Ngorongoro Crater is a unique ecosystem, with a variety of habitats ranging from grasslands to lakes, forests and swamps. It is a perfect place to observe wildlife in an uncontaminated natural context. It is one of the natural wonders of the entire African continent and is part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a protected reserve that combines nature conservation with human activities, particularly of the Maasai populations who live there.

The crater is what remains of an ancient volcano that collapsed about 2/3 million years ago, it has a diameter of about 20 kilometers and a depth of 600 meters, making it the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world.

The crater is home to one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the world: all the big five, thousands of herbivores, including zebras, gazelles and hippos that populate the bottom of the crater. Flamingos and numerous other species of aquatic birds live around the salt lakes inside the crater such as Lake Magadi.

The crater is a UNESCO site for its natural and cultural value. It is an important place for studying biodiversity and the coexistence between man and nature. Being part of a protected reserve, visits are regulated to preserve the environment.

Located in northern Tanzania, Tarangire National Park is known for its iconic baobab trees, large herds of elephants and rich biodiversity.

The day starts early, with a safari to observe the animals that move in the cooler hours. Tarangire is famous for its elephants, often spotted in large groups, and for the presence of predators such as lions, cheetahs and leopards, but there is no shortage of giraffes, zebras and antelopes.

Lunch is eaten in the picnic areas, surrounded by the beauty of the savannah.

In the late afternoon, the lights of the sunset transform the landscape, creating a magical atmosphere for photographs.

During the dry season, from June to October, the Tarangire River attracts huge herds of elephants, making the park one of the best places in Africa to spot them.

In addition to the classic animals of the savannah, the park is home to rarer species such as the oryx and the gerenuk, the giraffe-gazelle.

The majestic baobabs that dot the landscape offer a unique and fascinating scenery.

Tarangire is an unmissable stop for those seeking an authentic experience in the wilderness.

On the last day, you retrace the path you took to reach these places, this time with a new spirit and awareness, but the eyes with which you look at the panorama have changed. The parks are a jewel in the crown for the care with which they are managed, but also the villages and the people are fantastic.

The guide who accompanied you throughout the safari will take you to the airport for the return trip to Europe or for an internal flight to the islands.

We stayed in beautiful lodges but also in tents in the middle of the Serengeti and took away with us memories that still fill our eyes. What an experience! I would like to go back there now. Thank you Safari Space!
