Walking Safari in Arusha National Park

Experience the thrill of a walking safari in Arusha National Park, one of Tanzania’s most unique wildlife adventures. Located just 30 minutes from Arusha city center, this safari allows travelers to get up close and personal with African wildlife while exploring the park on foot under the guidance of a trained, armed ranger.

Arusha National Park – What to Expect on a Walking Safari

Your walking safari begins with a scenic drive through Arusha National Park’s woodlands to the northern section, where the real adventure starts. Participants are introduced to the park’s rich biodiversity, including a fascinating display of animal skulls and bones, offering insights into local wildlife.

As you walk across wooden bridges and through lush forests, you may spot a variety of wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, and other savannah species.
