Walking Safari in Arusha National Park (DAY-TRIP)

You’ll start the day with a short drive to Arusha National Park; this will take about 30 minutes (from Arusha). From here, we’ll drive through the beautiful green surroundings of the park to spot some local wildlife, all while enjoying a stunning view of Mt. Meru in the background.

Next, your local safari ranger will take you on a walking safari. The walking safari offers a whole new and unique perspective of the national park, and it’s super exciting! The scents and sounds of the African bush are best experienced on foot. Here, you’ll be walking alongside wild, freely roaming animals in their natural habitat. Your ranger is experienced and knows what you can and can’t do near wild animals. Listen to him, and you’ll have the best possible experience. Apart from sharing loads of knowledge about the animals you might encounter, your guide will also tell you all about the unique flora and fauna of Arusha National Park.

During the walking safari, some unique sights will be visited, such as the impressive waterfall that hides in the heart of the park, the Ngurdoto Crater, and Lake Momella, where thousands of pink flamingos can often be spotted.

What to see on the walking safari

Many visitors come here hoping to spot the elusive colobus monkey. Giraffes majestically walk through the landscape, and other animals like buffalo, zebras, warthogs, and blue monkeys are waiting to be spotted. This day trip is also great for birdwatchers, as Arusha has a great variety of birds, including trogons, starlings, turacos, and thousands of migrating flamingos.
