Tour Overview

Arusha National Park is a small but incredibly scenic reserve conveniently located near Arusha city. The park boasts a diverse topography that includes the Momella Lakes, Ngurdoto Crater, and the rugged slopes of Mount Meru. Its main highlight is the abundant population of the elegant black-and-white colobus monkeys, which are easily spotted in the forest canopy. Unlike many other northern circuit parks, Arusha National Park offers walking safaris, providing a unique opportunity to experience the wilderness on foot.

Day of Adventure

Your day trip begins with a short drive from Arusha to the entrance of Arusha National Park, where your adventure into diverse landscapes starts.

The experience is flexible, but typically you begin with a morning game drive exploring the park’s unique scenery. You will pass around the Momella Lakes, where flocks of flamingos and other water birds gather, creating a colorful and peaceful setting. On the open plains, you may also spot giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and other wildlife moving freely across the grasslands.

A highlight of the visit is a guided walking safari, where you step out of the vehicle and explore the forest on foot with a ranger. This offers a more intimate experience with nature, allowing you to notice smaller details and feel closer to the environment.

After a picnic lunch in the park, you can choose to enjoy a canoe trip on one of the lakes or continue with another game drive for more wildlife viewing. Later in the afternoon, you return to Arusha with a deeper appreciation of the park’s beauty and diversity.
