Why choose this park
Arusha National Park offers forest, lakes and mountain scenery within reach of the city. It is a different experience from the vast plains of the Serengeti.
Activities and park rules
Game drives and certain guided walking activities may be available under park regulations. Ask your operator which activities are currently permitted and whether a ranger is required.
Set realistic wildlife expectations
The park can be excellent for scenery and varied habitats, but sightings are never guaranteed. A day visit is best planned around its own strengths.
Questions to ask before you go
