Walking Safari in Arusha National Park: Explore Nature on Foot

With Bongo Trips, safety, knowledge, and unforgettable moments are guaranteed.
Morning Pick-Up & Transfer to the Park
Your day begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Arusha or nearby areas, followed by a scenic drive to Arusha National Park. Along the way, enjoy views of Mount Meru, rolling hills, and local farmlands. Upon arrival at the park gate, your guide will brief you on safety procedures and what to expect during the walking safari.
Guided Walking Safari Experience
Accompanied by an armed park ranger, set out on a guided walk through forest trails, open grasslands, and crater areas. Encounter wildlife such as giraffes, buffaloes, warthogs, zebras, monkeys, and a variety of bird species at a safe distance. Your guide explains animal behavior, tracks, plants, and the park’s unique ecosystems, making the experience educational and exciting.
Explore Scenic Highlights
The walking safari often includes visits to key areas such as Momella Lakes, Ngurdoto Crater viewpoints, and forested sections of the park. These scenic spots provide excellent photography opportunities and a chance to appreciate Arusha National Park’s diverse landscapes.
Picnic Break & Relaxation
Midway through the walk or after the safari, enjoy a picnic break in a designated area. Relax, take in the views, and refresh before continuing or preparing for the return journey.
Optional Short Game Drive
Depending on the itinerary, the walking safari may be combined with a short game drive, allowing you to cover more ground and spot additional wildlife before leaving the park.
Return to Arusha
In the afternoon, exit the park and return to your hotel in Arusha, concluding a day filled with adventure, learning, and close encounters with nature.
