Overview

The first time you spot the rusty brown of the bushbuck standing in the grass mere meters from the path you are walking is a truly magic moment. You may also encounter a herd of buffalo grazing as little as 20-30 meters away. While these magnificent animals rightfully inspire awe with their sheer size: they can, after all, weigh as much as a ton. Such encounters are totally safe in the company of one of the experienced rangers of Arusha National Park. Giraffe, elephant, antelopes, and even the secretive leopard can be spotted in the mountain woods of the Arusha Park leaving you with memories that will surely be cherished for the rest of your life.

Visitors may choose the duration of the walk, and the difficulty of the route. Walks begin in across a plain, where visitors may see herds of zebra or distant cape buffalo. The walk continues toward the forest at the foot of Mount Meru, where there is a good chance of spotting giraffe munching on acacia trees. The walk ends with Ulyulyusya waterfall, a magnificent cascade coming directly from the Mountain.
