Despite the small size of the park, common animals include giraffe, buffalo, zebra, warthog, the black-and-white colobus monkey, the blue monkey, flamingos and more. African elephants and leopards are present, but rarely seen. The park is at the base of Mount Meru, which is good for climbing. Birdlife in the forest is prolific, with many forest species more easily seen here. Though very accessible, Arusha NP isn't on many safari itineraries. This is mainly because it doesn't offer a chance of seeing the Big 5. It has a range of habitats including forest – home to the black-and-white colobus monkey – and is excellent for birding.

Wonderful day to Arusha national park
Prompt and reliable service! We booked maybe 12 hours ahead only, and I admire the efficiency and professionalism in arranging a nice tour for us! Super joyful and exciting tour!

Great single day of safari up close
Well worth visiting Arusha NP as part of your tour. You can walk with the rangers to see giraffe, warthog etc and to an amazing waterfall. Lake Momella also beautiful with so much birdlife. Red daiker and other species not seen in other parks

Highly recommend Arusha national park with Travel Africa Safari Agency
I had a full day tour in Arusha national park with Hassan as my guide. I had a very good time seeing the wonderful landscapes and animals. I soecially liked the walking safari which you can do accompanied by an armed ranger and a local guide. Seeing the giraffes and buffalos when walking is a different feeling than driving up to them! As I was the only passanger that day Hassan always gave me all the time I wanted to watch the animals and let me de ide when and where to eat. He also told me a lot about fauna and flora which was super interesting! Food was very tasty too! Mohammed, the manager organised everything with me through whatsapp, he is always very responsive and can answer every question. For an additional 35$ (normal taxi price) i got driven back to Moshi after my safari which was very convenient. I recommend Travel Africa Safari Agency wholeheartedly to everyone!

Gorgeous in a specific way
The big animals like the Giraffes behavie different then in the famous Parks, because of the absence of big pretators. So they are more relaxed and you can do even a walking safari with a ranger. For me it was also worth to go to visit the former Hatari Lodge of Hardy Krüger and the famous Momelia Lodge
Response from the operator: Dear Rainer Poertner, Thank you for your the time to write this review. We appreciate it very much. happy to hear that overall you had a good tour with our team and Enjoyed the Walking Safari Tour at Arusha National Park We always want to improve day-by-day service to reach a high standard of service.

Full Day To Arusha National Park: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does Full Day To Arusha National Park cost?
+
Prices start at $131 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arusha usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day To Arusha National Park take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arusha is not rushed.
Is Full Day To Arusha National Park worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day To Arusha National Park?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day To Arusha National Park suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day To Arusha National Park?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arusha can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arusha and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day To Arusha National Park start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arusha within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Arusha?
+
On Outty we rank every Arusha experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arusha Guided City Tour &Hotel Pickup (History, Culture &Market, 5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai, Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Arusha?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Arusha?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
