Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park, located near Mount Meru in northern Tanzania, is a stunning mix of diverse landscapes, including lush forests, savannah, and lakes. It's home to abundant wildlife like giraffes, zebras, and buffalo, plus over 400 bird species. This serene park is ideal for walking safaris and canoeing adventures.

Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Arusha National Park is during the dry season, from June to October, when wildlife is easier to spot around water sources, and trails are more accessible. Temperatures remain mild, and clear skies offer spectacular views of Mount Meru and distant Mount Kilimanjaro.

Every day is a new adventure in Arusha National Park, where the beauty of nature unfolds in every season.

In the wet season, from November to May, the park transforms into a lush, green landscape. Although animals are more dispersed, this is the perfect time for birdwatchers, as migratory species arrive, adding to the park’s impressive avian diversity.

Whether you're trekking to the summit of Mount Meru or exploring the vibrant ecosystems, each visit offers unique experiences. Plan your trip according to your interests to make the most of your time in this breathtaking destination.

How to Get There

Arusha National Park is conveniently located about 30 kilometres from Arusha city. You can reach the park by car, with several tour operators offering guided transfers. Alternatively, self-drive options are available, providing a scenic route through the Tanzanian countryside.
