Arusha National Park Day Trip

Arusha National Park is one of Tanzania’s most accessible wildlife parks, located just a short drive from Arusha town. It offers a mix of mountain views, forested areas, lakes, and open plains — perfect for a relaxed day trip. Though smaller than other parks, it is home to a wide variety of animals, including giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, colobus monkeys, flamingos, and more. If you’re lucky, you might even spot leopards or elephants.

This day trip is ideal for those with limited time or anyone looking for a gentle introduction to Tanzania’s natural beauty.
