Arusha National Park & Attractions

Arusha National Park, located just 45 minutes from Arusha town, offers a sampling of all the parks on the Northern Circuit in Tanzania: Little Serengeti, Ngurdoto Crater (reminiscent of Ngorongoro Crater), impressive mountain trekking and flamingo-filled lakes.

Spanning approximately 552 square kilometres, the park is home to Mount Meru, Tanzania’s second-highest peak, standing at 4,566 meters.

The park offers a range of activities, including game drives, walking safaris, and canoeing on the Momella Lakes. Hiking Mount Meru is a popular adventure, providing stunning views and a good acclimatization opportunity for those planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Arusha National Park’s accessibility and diverse attractions make it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.

When To Visit

Best Time To Visit Arusha

The Best Time to visit Arushais during the dry season, from June to October. The weather is also more pleasant for outdoor activities, with fewer rain disruptions. The short dry season from January to February is also a good time to visit. However, avoid the long rainy season from March to May, as heavy rains can make travel difficult.

Our Travellers Reviews

Outstanding tour operator

I can't say enough good things about Bryson and Petit Maasai. Bryson handled our last-minute trip to Tanzania like he'd been working on it for months instead of a handful of days after we connected about a week before our family arrived.

Kilimanjaro With Petit Maasai safaris- 5 stars!!!

We book 7 days Kilimanjaro with Petit Maasai safaris after having the safari with another company and we made it with a brilliant guide to the summit. We took the Lemosho route, starting in the rain forest and approached the camp via various tents campsites.

A great experience!

We did a safari in the northern parks of Tanzania with Petit Maasai Safaris and it was a great experience! The guide and the cook were really professional and nice with us, trying to make us feel comfortable and to satisfy our requests. Thanks a lot!
