A hidden gem just outside Arusha — explore lush forests, crater lakes, Mount Meru views, and unique walking safaris in one compact park.
Arusha National Park is one of Tanzania’s most underrated safari destinations, offering diverse landscapes including lush rainforest, open savannah, volcanic craters, and the scenic Momella Lakes.
Unlike other parks on the Northern Circuit, Arusha National Park is perfect for walking safaris, canoeing, and close wildlife encounters, with giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and the rare black-and-white colobus monkeys.
With Mount Meru rising dramatically in the background, this park is ideal for day trips, pre-safari experiences, or travelers looking for a quieter, more intimate safari.
Explore the park on foot with a ranger — a rare chance to experience wildlife up close.
Paddle along Momella Lakes surrounded by giraffes, buffalo, and waterbirds.
Spot rare black-and-white colobus monkeys jumping through the forest canopy.
Enjoy stunning views of Tanzania’s second-highest mountain rising above the park.
Large herds of giraffes, zebras, and antelope roam the open savannah.
Best for walking safaris and clear views of Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro. Wildlife easier to spot.
Lush landscapes, excellent birdwatching, and fewer visitors. Canoe safaris are often available.
Arusha National Park is accessible year-round due to its small size and consistent wildlife presence.
