Wildlife and Gorilla Safaris in East Africa
About Arusha Park
Arusha National Park is best for you if you want a short safari near Arusha, a walking safari, canoeing, birding, or a Mount Meru climb before the longer northern circuit.
The park sits between Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro, about 45 minutes from Arusha town and about 1 hour from Kilimanjaro International Airport, depending on traffic and lodge location.
You should not choose Arusha National Park if your main goal is lions, rhinos, or a classic big-game safari. Choose it for scenery, walking, birds, giraffes, monkeys, and a softer first safari day.
What can you do in Arusha National Park?
You can take game drives, walking safaris with armed rangers, canoe safaris on Momella Lakes, birding trips, and Mount Meru treks.
Mount Meru is Tanzania’s second-highest mountain. Most climbs take 3 to 4 days.
What can you see?
You may see giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, waterbucks, warthogs, blue monkeys, black-and-white colobus monkeys, flamingos, and other birdlife around the Momella Lakes.
You also get strong scenery: Mount Meru, Ngurdoto Crater, montane forest, lakes, and open grassland.
Best Time To Visit
June to October and December to February are usually better for walking safaris, clearer views, and Mount Meru hiking. Wetter months can be good for birding and green scenery.
How To Get There?
Arusha National Park is reached by road from Arusha town in about 45 minutes. From Kilimanjaro International Airport, allow about 1 hour.
Where to Stay
Most travellers stay in Arusha town or nearby lodges. Options include Arusha Coffee Lodge, Rivertrees Country Inn, Hatari Lodge, and budget guesthouses in Arusha.

Where to begin!?!? My husband and I did a two day Murchison falls safari trip, with Cliff & Derrick as our guides.
Traveler
Memorable Safari experience from start to the end I contacted Little Rock Safaris about 4 and half months before the tour starting date.
Traveler
Our original tour operator canceled our trip at last minutes, so we contacted Littlerock safaris to replace our canceled tour and they responded to us immediately
