Tanzania, in one day.
For layovers, post-Kilimanjaro recovery, or just a single day in the field — these are the day trips we run from Arusha and Moshi.

Kilimanjaro Day Hike — Mandara Hut
A day hike on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro — Marangu gate to Mandara hut (2,720m) and back. No summit, no permit gymnastics, just a proper mountain day.
★ BEST FOR LAYOVERS$230/ pp from01 · WILDLIFE
Arusha National Park Day Trip
Walking safari, canoe paddle, and game drive in the small but varied park forty minutes from Arusha. The right day trip for travellers with a single free day.
FULL DAY GAME DRIVE$290/ pp from03 · WILDLIFE
Lake Manyara Day Safari
A day in the smallest of the northern parks — lake-edge birding, the groundwater forest, and the rare chance of a tree-climbing lion.
FULL DAY GAME DRIVE$320/ pp from02 · WILDLIFE
Tarangire Day Safari
A full-day safari in the elephant park, two hours south of Arusha. Long day, real safari, no overnight required.
★ ICONIC$490/ pp from04 · WILDLIFE
Ngorongoro Crater Day Safari
A long day from Arusha to the crater floor and back. Demanding but possible — and the only way to see the crater in a single day.
★ SCENIC FLIGHT$2,890/ pp from08 · SCENIC
Helicopter Safari over the Serengeti
A two-hour helicopter flight over the Serengeti with two landings — a premium day for guests already on safari who want the aerial perspective.

Combining day trips with a longer safari?
Most of our day trips work as stand-alones for layovers — but a few (Tarangire, Manyara, the Crater) make more sense bolted on to the start or end of a longer trip. We'll suggest what fits.
