Walking Safari: A Closer Look at Nature
One of the highlights of this tour is the walking safari.

Walking safaris are ideal for those who want to learn more about the smaller aspects of the ecosystem, such as the flora, tracks, and signs of animals that often go unnoticed during a vehicle safari. You’ll get up close to the wildlife, including giraffes, buffaloes, and the many species of monkeys, and perhaps encounter some of the park’s more elusive creatures. The guide will share their knowledge of the area’s history, ecology, and wildlife, making it an informative experience as well as an exciting adventure.
Game Drive: Spotting Iconic Tanzanian Wildlife
After your walking safari, the tour continues with a thrilling game drive in an open safari vehicle. Arusha National Park is home to a variety of animals, including zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, warthogs, and several species of antelopes. The park also boasts an impressive birdlife, including flamingos that can be found around the Ngurdoto Crater. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the park’s more elusive predators, such as leopards and hyenas. The game drive offers the opportunity to travel deeper into the park and discover the hidden corners of this fascinating landscape.
