Pickup offered
Offered in: English

This experience offers a more complete and relaxed way to explore Arusha National Park in just one day. Instead of only doing a traditional game drive, you’ll experience the park in three different ways — on foot, by canoe, and in a safari vehicle.

Walk through the park with an armed ranger while getting surprisingly close to giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and other wildlife in their natural environment. Continue with a peaceful canoe safari across the Momella Lakes, surrounded by flamingos, hippos, and beautiful views of Mount Meru before finishing the day with a scenic game drive through forests, open plains, and crater landscapes.

Because the park is smaller and less crowded than many northern safari parks, the experience feels quieter, more personal, and closer to nature — perfect for travelers who want something active, scenic, and different from a standard safari.

    Arusha National Park

    Your day begins with an early morning pickup from Arusha, Moshi, or nearby locations, followed by a scenic drive to Arusha National Park. Walking Safari (2–3 Hours) Upon arrival, meet your professional guide and armed ranger for a guided walking safari. Explore the park on foot, getting closer to wildlife than a vehicle allows. Learn about animal tracks, plants, and ecosystems while encountering giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and scenic waterfall within the park for a refreshing nature break. Canoe Safari (Momella Lakes) Continue to the Momella Lakes for a canoe safari (weather dependent). Glide quietly across the water, observing hippos, flamingos, and other birdlife with Mount Meru as your backdrop. Game Drive Safari After lunch, enjoy a classic game drive through the park’s varied landscapes—open plains, forest, and crater lakes—spotting wildlife from a wider perspective before returning to your hotel in the evening.
