Arusha day trips

Arusha National Park day trip

Explore an Arusha National Park day-trip idea with Mount Meru views, Momella Lakes and forest game drives. Guiding and transport need confirmation.

Overview

Arusha National Park is a short drive from town and full of variety: forest glades, the Momella Lakes and views up to Mount Meru when the clouds lift.

Where park rules allow, part of the day can be spent on foot with an armed park ranger — a very different way to experience the landscape.

Highlights

  • Game drive through forest and open glades
  • Viewpoints over the Momella Lakes
  • Optional ranger-led walk, subject to park rules
