Walking Safari — Arusha National Park

1 DAY

FROM 2,200 USD

Overview

Experience the magic of Arusha National Park on foot — one of the few places in Tanzania where guided walking safaris are permitted. With Sheventures Safari, you’ll join an armed ranger and explore forest trails, crater rims, and lakeshores, seeing wildlife up close and learning about the park’s rich ecosystem. It’s immersive, peaceful, and perfect for nature lovers who want a deeper connection than what a game drive offers.

Half-day walk (1.5 – 4 hours)

Full-day walk (6 – 8 hours) with a longer, more in-depth exploration.

You’ll likely encounter giraffes, zebras, buffalos, warthogs, and blue monkeys.
Trails pass through the Ngurdoto Crater, Lake Momella, and dense forest areas.
Birdwatchers will also love spotting flamingos, and you might even see the black-and-white colobus monkeys in the trees.

The walk is led by an experienced, armed ranger for safety and wildlife interpretation.
Group size is kept small, letting you enjoy a personal and focused experience.
