A half-day trip west of Arusha combining a visit to Meserani Snake Park (50+ East African snake species, crocodiles, tortoises) with the excellent on-site Maasai Cultural Museum. A good option for families and those wanting cultural context before entering Maasai territory. The drive west also passes typical northern Tanzanian savannah landscape.
