Nestled between the iconic Mount Meru and the bustling safari capital of Arusha, Arusha National Park offers a unique blend of landscapes, wildlife, and adventure—perfect for travelers seeking tranquility and authenticity without the tourist crowds.
Unlike Tanzania’s larger and more famous parks, Arusha delivers an intimate, immersive wilderness experience just a short drive from the city. It’s a rare chance to explore crater lakes, mossy forests, and alpine highlands all within a single park.
Highlights Include:
Mount Meru: A striking volcanic peak perfect for high-altitude trekking.
Momella Lakes: Known for vibrant flamingos and dramatic reflections.
Ngurdoto Crater: A lush volcanic caldera often called the “Little Ngorongoro.”
Colobus Monkeys & Giraffes: Spot rare black-and-white colobus monkeys swinging in the trees, alongside herds of giraffes grazing the open plains.
Whether you’re here for a day trip or a peaceful multi-day stay, Arusha National Park offers something refreshing and authentic.
Paddle quietly past hippos and waterbirds for an experience few parks can offer.
Explore on foot with armed rangers—feel the earth beneath your feet and observe giraffes, buffaloes, and more up close.
Less crowded than Kilimanjaro but equally rewarding, Mount Meru is perfect for trekkers looking for challenge and solitude.
Home to over 400 bird species, including trogons, hornbills, and turacos, this park is a haven for bird lovers.
The park is a year-round destination, but:
June to October offers the best weather—dry trails, clearer views of Mount Meru, and easy game spotting.
November to May brings lush greenery, more birdlife, and fewer crowds—ideal for photography and nature enthusiasts.
Insider Tip: Combine a visit to Arusha National Park with longer safaris to Serengeti or Ngorongoro to ease into your adventure.
Absolutely. For those who want to start their safari gently, avoid the masses, or embrace nature in its purest form, Arusha is a perfect soft intro—or final exhale—on your Tanzanian journey.

Fewer vehicles, more serenity
Proximity to Arusha town and Kilimanjaro International Airport
