Discover the Natural Beauty of Arusha National Park
A perfect safari escape from Arusha
Experience one of Tanzania’s most scenic and diverse national parks on this unforgettable day trip. Located just a short drive from Arusha, Arusha National Park offers breathtaking landscapes, abundant wildlife, beautiful lakes, and unique safari activities that make it an ideal choice for travelers with limited time. The park is famous for its spectacular views of Mount Meru, diverse ecosystems, and opportunities for walking safaris and canoe adventures.
Unlike many of Tanzania’s larger national parks, Arusha National Park provides a more intimate safari experience where visitors can enjoy close encounters with wildlife in a peaceful and less crowded environment. The park is home to giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, warthogs, bushbucks, waterbucks, and the rare black-and-white colobus monkeys that inhabit its lush forests. Bird enthusiasts will also be delighted by the park’s rich birdlife, with hundreds of species thriving around the Momella Lakes and forested areas.
As you explore the park, you’ll discover a stunning variety of landscapes, from open savannahs and acacia woodlands to dense montane forests, sparkling alkaline lakes, and the impressive Ngurdoto Crater. The backdrop of Mount Meru, Tanzania’s second-highest mountain, creates spectacular scenery and endless photography opportunities throughout the day.
Explore the wilderness on foot with an armed ranger and experience nature from a completely different perspective. Walking safaris allow you to get closer to wildlife, learn about local plants, and enjoy the park’s peaceful surroundings. Arusha National Park is one of the few parks in Tanzania where walking safaris are permitted.
Discover the beauty of Momella Lakes, the lush forests surrounding Mount Meru, and the stunning Ngurdoto Crater, often referred to as the “Little Ngorongoro.” The park’s diverse scenery provides incredible opportunities for photography and sightseeing.
Despite its relatively small size, Arusha National Park is home to giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, warthogs, waterbucks, bushbucks, and black-and-white colobus monkeys. Bird enthusiasts can also enjoy spotting flamingos, pelicans, and many other species around the Momella Lakes.
For travelers seeking something different, canoe safaris on the Momella Lakes offer a peaceful way to observe wildlife and birds while enjoying the stunning scenery of the park.
