Book Your Tanzania Safari
For those of you that like to explore different areas in small sections and not be confined to a safari vehicle for long periods, Arusha National Park is definitely worth putting some time aside for. Its close proximity to Arusha and compact size makes this park the ideal venue for a day trip, combining game drives, a walking safari and even an (optional) canoeing safari on the Momella Lakes. You'll get close to water buffalo, hippos and many types of water birds, including lesser flamingo.


Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel or preferred location in Arusha at around 8:00 AM. After meeting your professional driver-guide, you’ll enjoy a comfortable drive to Arusha National Park, entering through the scenic Momella Gate. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to the park’s unique ecosystems and wildlife, preparing you for an exciting Arusha National Park Safari and one of the best day trips from Arusha.
Upon arrival, begin your safari with a guided walking safari accompanied by an experienced armed park ranger. Walking through the park offers a completely different perspective from a traditional game drive, allowing you to appreciate the smaller details of nature while safely observing wildlife such as giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, warthogs, antelopes, and numerous bird species from a closer distance. This unique experience makes the Arusha National Park Day Trip one of the most rewarding wildlife safaris in Tanzania.

After the walking safari, continue exploring the park by 4×4 safari vehicle. Your guide will take you through a variety of habitats, including open plains, dense forests, and the beautiful Momella Lakes, where you may spot hippos resting in the water, waterbucks grazing along the shoreline, and colorful birdlife including flamingos, herons, cormorants, kingfishers, and other migratory species. This scenic Tanzania safari offers excellent wildlife viewing and incredible photography opportunities.
Around midday, stop at a designated picnic site to enjoy a freshly prepared picnic lunch while surrounded by the park’s peaceful natural environment. The scenic setting provides a perfect opportunity to relax, take photographs, and appreciate the beauty of this Arusha day tour.
In the afternoon, you have the option to enhance your experience with an optional canoeing safari on Little Momella Lake. Paddling quietly across the calm waters offers a unique opportunity to observe wildlife and birds from a different perspective while enjoying the tranquility of the lake. Guests who prefer not to participate in canoeing can continue with additional game drives, allowing more time to search for wildlife and visit other scenic areas within the park during their Arusha National Park Safari.
As the day comes to an end, enjoy your final game drive while making your way toward the park exit. Later in the afternoon, depart Arusha National Park and return to Arusha, where you will be dropped off at your hotel, residence, or another preferred location, concluding a memorable Arusha National Park Day Trip and day safari from Arusha.
