Arusha National Park | Walking Safari Tours
The Arusha National Park offers the top game viewing with both walking safaris, climbing, and canoe tours available within the park
Arusha National Park (total area of 552 square Kilometers (212 sq. miles)) is a multi-faceted jewel, often overlooked by safari goers, despite offering the opportunity to explore a beguiling diversity of habitats within a few hours.
The park includes the slopes, summit, and ash cone of Mount Meru, the Momela Lakes, Ngurdoto Crater, and the lush highland forests that blanket its lower slopes
The entrance gate leads into a shadowy montane forest inhabited by inquisitive blue monkeys and colorful turacos and trogons – the only place on the northern safari circuit where the acrobatic black-and-white colobus monkey is easily seen.
Things To Do In Arusha National Park
- Game Drive
- Walking Safari Tours
- Canoeing at Momela Lake
- Climb Mount Meru (3 – 4 days)
- Mountain bike tour (2 – 5 hours)
Climbing Mt. Meru or enjoying the smaller trails that criss-cross its lower slopes is a popular activity for visitors to Arusha National Park. The three-day trek to reach the crater’s summit is a quieter, and some say more challenging alternative than the famous peak of nearby Mount Kilimanjaro.
