Embark on an unforgettable adventure with Wild Journey Safari to explore Arusha National Park, a hidden gem in northern Tanzania that offers a diverse range of landscapes and wildlife. Nestled at the foot of Mount Meru, Tanzania’s second-highest peak, the park is a microcosm of East African beauty. With Wild Journey Safari, you’ll experience the stunning contrasts of Arusha National Park, from lush montane forests and sparkling crater lakes to sweeping savannas and the rugged terrain of Meru’s slopes. Each of these unique ecosystems is teeming with wildlife, providing a rich and varied safari experience.

Wild Journey Safari ensures an immersive journey through Arusha National Park’s rich biodiversity. The park is home to a variety of animals including giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and a plethora of primates such as black-and-white colobus monkeys. With the park’s smaller size compared to other Tanzanian reserves, it allows for closer and more intimate wildlife encounters. Our expertly guided game drives and walking safaris offer you the chance to explore the diverse habitats and spot elusive leopards and bushbucks in the forested areas, or witness hippos and flamingos at the Momella Lakes. Birdwatchers will be delighted by the over 400 bird species recorded in the park, making it a true haven for ornithologists.

In addition to its rich wildlife, Arusha National Park offers breathtaking scenery and outdoor adventures. With Wild Journey Safari, you can embark on a trek up Mount Meru, providing not only a challenging hike but also stunning views of the park and the distant Mount Kilimanjaro. Canoeing on the tranquil Momella Lakes offers a unique perspective on the park’s aquatic life and bird species, while providing a serene contrast to the excitement of game drives. Our safaris are tailored to offer a comprehensive exploration of the park, ensuring you experience its natural beauty from every angle.
