Located just outside the city, Arusha National Park is home to a diverse range of animals and plants. Known for its scenic landscapes, it’s the perfect spot for day safaris, with the chance to see giraffes, zebras, and flamingos around the Ngurdoto Crater. You can also enjoy a peaceful canoe ride on Momella Lakes.
3. Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
Arusha is often the starting point for safaris to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, two of Tanzania’s most iconic national parks. Whether you’re looking for the Great Migration or an unforgettable wildlife experience, these parks are within easy reach of Arusha.
