Wildlife Drives & Walking Safari Beneath Mount Meru
Explore the diverse landscapes of Arusha National Park at the foot of Mount Meru, combining a private 4x4 game drive with an armed ranger-guided walking safari.
Located a short drive from Arusha town, Arusha National Park encompasses the slopes of Mount Meru, montane rainforest, the rim of Ngurdoto Crater, and the alkaline Momella Lakes.
Unlike larger savannah parks, Arusha National Park is famous for offering guided walking safaris accompanied by an armed park ranger, allowing you to walk across open clearings near giraffes, zebras, warthogs, and Cape buffaloes.
During your 4x4 game drive, search for black-and-white colobus monkeys in the forest canopy, admire flocks of flamingos and waterbirds at the Momella Lakes, and enjoy scenic viewpoints over Ngurdoto Crater.
