You can experience spectacular wildlife on day trips from Arusha, but reaching distant game reserves often requires many hours of driving or a pricy flight. Get the best of both worlds on a 1-day safari to Arusha National Park—it’s the closest national park to Arusha town—and discover free roaming wildlife on the slopes of Mount Meru. Watch for giraffe, zebra, Cape buffalo, and a wide range of bird species as you explore.
