1 Day Arusha National Park Walking Safari

Arusha National Park safari. People who are hurrying to see the more well-known Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti frequently overlook Arusha National Park. Arusha National Park does, however, provide some beautiful walking in the foothills of Mount Meru, canoeing on the Momela Lakes, and mild game drives for those who have the time. A day or two is well worth the time if you have it.

Arusha National Park offers a variety of activities. Included in this are walking safaris, which are always led by a ranger and run no more than four hours, during which you would pause for a picnic at one of the park’s beautiful locations. You can also drive through the park’s more remote areas, where you can enjoy some of the beautiful scenery and look for wildlife. Canoeing safaris, which let you explore the Momela Lakes, are another fantastic activity here that isn’t available in other Tanzanian safari parks.

Day to Day Itinerary

We will pick you up from your Arusha accommodation in the morning and drive you to the Arusha National Park. The park’s astounding diversity of plants and animals never ceases to astound. Hollywood also selected this area to shoot the film “Hatari,” which starred Hardy Kruger and the renowned John Wayne. You will see the Ngurdo Crater as part of your day tour. There are numerous bird species to be observed throughout the year, along with buffaloes, waterbucks, giraffes, warthogs, zebras, and baboons.

An armed ranger will meet you at the Momella Gate and take you on your walking safari, which will allow you to get up close and personal with the wildlife. There aren’t many Tanzanian national parks that provide you this kind of experience, so you shouldn’t pass it up. After eating lunch at a picnic area, you will continue your safari vehicle tour of Arusha National Park in the afternoon. We’ll take you back to Arusha after giving you enough of time to see the wildlife.
