Our professional guide will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha. Enjoy a brief introduction to the park as you journey toward its entrance, located just 35 km away. A light breakfast snack is provided.

08:30 AM – Enter Arusha National Park & Begin Game Drive

Upon entering the park, embark on a game drive through the grassland areas of the Little Serengeti and the forested slopes of Mount Meru. Spot giraffes browsing treetops, herds of zebras, warthogs, and the occasional troops of blue monkeys or colobus monkeys swinging in the trees.

10:30 AM – Optional Walking Safari with a Park Ranger

Arusha National Park is one of the few places in Tanzania where walking safaris are permitted.
