Arusha N. Park & Nature Walk

This exciting day trip takes you to Arusha National Park, located just a short drive from Arusha town. Though compact in size, the park offers an incredible variety of landscapes and wildlife, making it a perfect destination for a quick yet enriching safari experience.

The park is home to fascinating geological formations created by ancient volcanic eruptions, which gave rise to striking natural features such as the Ngurdoto Crater (often called the “Little Ngorongoro”) and the Momela Lakes, known for their changing colours and flocks of flamingos.

On this trip, you’ll enjoy a combination of a game drive and a walking safari, offering both close-up wildlife encounters and breath-taking scenery. Accompanied by an armed park ranger, you’ll explore on foot and gain deeper insight into the park’s ecosystem, flora, and fauna.

Note: We also offer a special 3-day Arusha National Park camping safari for those who want to explore the park more extensively. For more information, [visit this link].

Formed over 2.5 million years ago when a massive volcano collapsed, it now shelters an extraordinary concentration of wildlife within its steep, forested walls.

The crater floor spans over 260 square kilometres (100 square miles) and is home to over 25,000 large animals, including the rare black rhino, big cats, and massive herds of wildebeest and zebra. It offers one of the best chances to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) in a single day.
