Overview

Close to the Kenyan border near Arusha city, Arusha National Park is one of Tanzania's best-kept secrets. It is home to Mount Meru, a popular climb for mountaineers who would prefer to avoid Kilimanjaro's more crowded trails.

Fewer visitors come here than to the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater, but the park deserves a day trip for its varied scenery, from the Momella Lakes to Ngurdoto Crater, and its reliable wildlife, including giraffe, buffalo and colobus monkeys. All of it sits within easy reach of Arusha itself.

Our Map Adventure Safari destination page for Arusha National Park has more detail, or contact us to book this day tour, which comes with a budget level tailored to what you are looking for.

Like every itinerary Map Adventure Safari runs, this one is a starting point rather than a fixed package — tell us your dates and what matters most to you, and we'll adjust the route, pace and accommodation level to fit.
