2-Day Arusha National Park Safari with Mount Meru Hike, Game Drives & Walking Tour

Nestled just 45 minutes northeast of Arusha town, Arusha National Park is a compact yet extraordinarily diverse reserve that offers a unique taste of Tanzania's wilderness. Spanning 552 km², this park may be smaller than Serengeti or Tarangire National Parls, but its ecological variety — from montane forests and alpine moorlands to crater lakes and savannah — rivals many larger parks.

Over the course of two days, you’ll explore one of Tanzania’s most underrated parks, home to giraffes, zebras, buffalos, warthogs, bushbucks, black-and-white colobus monkeys, and over 400 species of birds, including flamingos on the Momella Lakes. Unlike other national parks, Arusha allows guided nature walks and hiking, offering an intimate and ground-level wildlife experience. From the lush Meru forest to the volcanic Ngurdoto Crater and misty alpine meadows, every step reveals a new perspective.

This tour is ideal for travelers with limited time who still want to experience Tanzania’s great outdoors, or those preparing for longer expeditions such as Kilimanjaro climbs or Northern circuit safaris. The Mount Meru hike, although moderate, rewards adventurers with panoramic views and encounters with shy forest wildlife in a tranquil, uncrowded setting.
