Walking & Canoe Safari in Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park is one of the few parks in northern Tanzania where you can walk among wildlife. Accompanied by an armed ranger, you follow trails across open grassland and through montane forest, close to giraffe, buffalo, zebra, warthog and the black-and-white colobus monkeys that live in the trees.

Walking slows everything down: your guide shows you tracks, plants and birds that are easy to miss from a vehicle, with Mount Meru rising above you.

The walk can be combined with a guided canoe trip on the Small Momella Lake, where you paddle past water birds, hippos and, in season, flamingos, with views of Mount Meru and, on clear days, Mount Kilimanjaro.
