Arusha National Park Day Trip – A Scenic Safari Near the City

Your Walking safari in Tanzania begins with a morning pickup from your accommodation by your experienced Serengeti Wildlife Safaris guide. A short drive takes you to Arusha National Park, a gem often overlooked but full of stunning scenery and diverse wildlife. Nestled at the base of Mount Meru, this park offers a unique blend of habitats—from lush montane forests and open savannah to sparkling lakes and volcanic craters.
Once inside the park, you’ll begin your game drive, exploring a landscape rich with giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, warthogs, baboons, and various antelope species. Although big cats are rare here, the park is a birder’s paradise, home to flamingos, hornbills, and the elusive Narina trogon. On clear days, you'll be treated to magnificent views of both Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro—perfect for photos.
The morning continues with a visit to the Momella Lakes, known for their striking colors and large flocks of pink flamingos. You may also enjoy a guided walking safari, a special opportunity to stretch your legs and get up close to wildlife on foot, accompanied by an armed ranger.
Later, enjoy your picnic lunch in a scenic spot, perhaps near the Ngurdoto Crater, often called the “Little Ngorongoro” due to its impressive structure and lush interior.
After an enriching afternoon game drive or optional canoeing safari on the lake (advance request required), you'll begin your return journey to Arusha, arriving back at your hotel or the airport in the early evening—marking the end of a perfect day trip full of nature, wildlife, and breathtaking views.
