Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park Day Trip

Arusha National Park may be one of Tanzania's smallest parks, but it boasts an incredible diversity of habitats and wildlife within a short distance of Arusha town. The park features the stunning Mount Meru, lush montane forests, the blue-green Momella Lakes, and the dramatic Ngurdoto Crater. It’s the perfect escape for a one-day safari, especially for those short on time but craving a genuine African wildlife experience.

On this day trip, you'll have the chance to spot giraffes wandering across open fields, herds of buffalo grazing in the shadows of the crater rim, and black-and-white colobus monkeys leaping through the treetops. With optional canoeing on the lakes and walking safaris led by armed rangers, the park provides an intimate, off-the-beaten-path encounter with Tanzania’s wilderness.
