Best experience ever! Our walking safari guide hemed tracked down a family of 13 giraffe that we got very close too! We also got very close to the Cape buffalo, many warthogs and zebras. Everything was living in harmony. He also hiked to a waterfall. Worth every penny! I don’t know why this place isn’t more talked about we had such a great experience

Super fun. Definitely do the walking part.

Nice National Park to spend a day. Not far from Arusha town. It’s been said is a nice place to see elephants but I was not lucky at all when I went…not even one. You can find the black-and-white colobus monkey. Also a lot of giraffe, zebras and buffaloes. You can find also leopards and flamingos among others

The walking Safari was great fun! I would recommend it any day. To see buffalo, giraffes, baboons and warthogs up close and personal is an experience for itself. We got a chance to see a rare albino baboon and some flamingos too!

5th highest Peak in Africa wildlife experience hiking and game driving in this park is marvellous

Beautiful little park for a unique safari! Best giraffe encounter! One of the best safaris for monkeys and birds. No predators here :) Go with Albert from Winnie’s Adventure! He is the best!

Arusha National Park is a relatively small National Park that covers Mount Meru. It is close to the town of Arusha. The views are very beautiful. We saw hundreds or possibly thousands of Flamingos and many giraffes and zebras. Did not see elephants. Enjoyed the game drive and the scenery.

Wasn't lucky enough to see elephants, we were told they're deeper in the forrest. We did see zebras, baboons, giraffes and a bunch of flamingos. Weather was kind of chilly early in the morning, but sun came up around noon. Even though there were a lot of safari cars at the entrance, once you start driving, they get spread out around the park. The guides keep in touch with each other so they can share best sighting sites.

New building slow process Great entrance with clean bathrooms Lots of people want to sell you stuff while you waiting for your bus which is annoying. They give you visa on the spot. I wish there was a cafe inside for a coffee break while waiting. Kenya and Tanzania kiosks are side by side. If you are on a shuttle bus, you need to take all your luggage off and through the security check but you are not required if you are in a private car or a taxi.

The rainforest around the crater is amazing, but don't expect a lot of animals there, mostly they are very far away. After that park i went to Tarangire and i was overwhelmed from the amount of animals, the large size of the park. Viewing back in my opinion Arusha national park isn't worth the entry compared to what you can see in Tarangire. We went to both parks with a private vehicle.

Arusha National Park was really fun. It is conveniently located close to the city. It is an ideal choice for people with limited time but want to have a full safari experience. Both game drive and walking safari are possible. Private cars are allowed inside the part with a tour guide. Many thinga to see inside including birds, three Momela soda lakes, many different animals, a waterfall and streams and different kinds of vegetation.

Expensive entrance fee 53$, map for a location 15$ which you must pay cash only. Some roads were blocked with a trees. 🤔 Beautiful nature, forest and crater.

Ein Paradies der Natur: Unser unvergesslicher Besuch im Arusha Nationalpark Unser Besuch im Arusha Nationalpark in Tansania war eine absolut atemberaubende Erfahrung, die wir noch lange in Erinnerung behalten werden. Dieser Nationalpark hat uns mit seiner beeindruckenden Natur, seiner vielfältigen Tierwelt und seiner unvergleichlichen Schönheit komplett verzaubert. Schon bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir von der Freundlichkeit und Professionalität des Parkpersonals beeindruckt. Sie gaben uns detaillierte Informationen über den Park und halfen uns dabei, unsere Route zu planen, um das Beste aus unserem Besuch herauszuholen. Ihre Leidenschaft für den Schutz des Parks und die Erhaltung der Tierwelt war deutlich spürbar. Die Landschaft im Arusha Nationalpark ist einfach atemberaubend. Von üppigen Regenwäldern über malerische Seen bis hin zu majestätischen Berggipfeln bietet der Park eine enorme Vielfalt an natürlicher Schönheit. Wir hatten das Glück, einige der berühmten "Big Five" wie Elefanten und Büffel zu sehen, sowie eine Vielzahl anderer Tiere wie Giraffen, Zebras und Affen. Die Vogelwelt war ebenfalls beeindruckend, mit einer Fülle von farbenprächtigen Arten, die unseren Besuch noch bunter machten. Unser Guide Joachim war außerordentlich kenntnisreich und engagiert. Er teilte sein umfangreiches Wissen über die Tierwelt, die Pflanzen und die Geschichte des Parks mit uns und machte unseren Besuch zu einer lehrreichen und faszinierenden Erfahrung. Die Infrastruktur im Park war gut gepflegt, und die Wege waren gut markiert und leicht zugänglich. Es gab auch verschiedene Picknickplätze, an denen wir eine Pause einlegen und die Schönheit der Umgebung in vollen Zügen genießen konnten. Insgesamt können wir den Arusha Nationalpark jedem Naturliebhaber und Abenteuersuchenden wärmstens empfehlen. Die Kombination aus atemberaubender Natur, einer reichen Tierwelt und der Möglichkeit, den Mount Meru zu erkunden, macht diesen Park zu einem wahren Paradies. Wir sind dankbar für die unvergesslichen Erlebnisse und die wunderbaren Erinnerungen, die wir im Arusha Nationalpark gesammelt haben.

Do not waste your time and money ($116 for 2 people for 1 day!) If you are going to tarangire, serengeti, ngorongoro or like park later. It had plenty of animals on the close to entry place, on a plato, than only flamingos. Park is small and it's too close to city and it has mountain in it. That's why it's has not abundant wildlife. Animals don't like mountain, they like savannah. Our car stuck in this park, you need 4 wd to feel confident. Kruger is WAY better. And cheaper. Tarangire is better too. But not cheaper. Good luck!

What an incredible experience! The only thing I wanted to see but couldn't were the elephants (because it was too hot). Other than that, seeing all the animals so close yet fully in their habitat was completely out of this world! I recommend for sure

Ein kleiner aber sehr abwechslungsreicher Park mit den berühmten Mantelaffen. Wir haben viele Tiere gesehen und es ist ein guter Einsteiger Park für die weiteren Parks im Land.

basically four communities lives here Maasai, WaArusha, WaMeru & WaChaga The Mount Meru Area was formerly occupied by Maasai pastoralists before the end of XIX century and many of places names are of Maasai Origin. The Meru are Bantu speaking people who migrated to Mt. Meru from Western Kilimanjaro and from the Usambara area in the XVII century. The WaArusha people arrived in the area later than WaMeru. In 1830 they settled west of the present Arusha town, they absorbed Maasai speaking people into their tribe and became Maasai speakers themselves. Comes to WaChaga, they are Bantu speakers who started recently to migrate to Mt. Meru from the neighbouring Mt. Kilimanjaro

Im Verhältnis zu den anderen Nationalparks in Tansania relativ klein, dennoch fein. Am häufigsten trifft man hier Affen in allen Varianten. Die Wege sind gut gepflegt, damit auch einfach befahrbar. Die Landschaft ist schön und der Park ist nicht überlaufen. So hat man sehr viel mehr Möglichkeiten Tiere in Ruhe zu beobachten.

Ein toller Einstieg zu den Tansania Safaris. Es handelt sich um einen kleinen NP welcher doch eine tolle Anzahl von Tieren aufweist. Wir haben in diesem Park viele Affen, Giraffen, Wasserbüffel Flamingos, Vögel und vieles mehr gesehen. Auch Eleganten. Die Strassen sind holprig, genau so wie es sein muss. African-Massage so sagen die Fahrer und vor allem haben die Parks keine Grenzen mit Zäunen, die Tiere können sich frei bewegen. Das ist super. Bei den Safaris hatten wir einen guten Driver der Deutsch konnte. Wir konnten somit viel über das Land, Kultur, Tiere etc in Erfahrung bringen. Der zweitgrösste Berg von Tansania ist in diesem Part. Mount Maru mit 4566müM.

If you are planning to climb Kilimandjaro you should start here. Animals in nature without predators! Animals paradise!

Great for Mt. Meru climbers combining a walking Safari. Advice: 1. insist on walking through the animal part and not the fig tree. Amazing to have a walking safari as you start and end the climb. 2. If you know you are good with 3500 elevation consider sleeping in Saddle Hut 2 nights. This way you walk out on 4th day 13 km 2000 meter elevation drop (instead of 21km, 1000 up and 2000 meter down on climb day). 3. We opted for 4 a.m. wakeup, 5 a.m. start, 6:30 sunrise at Rhino point and then 10:30 summit. Two adults, 2 thirteen year olds. Park tries to group groups with a single ranger, then often force you to take fig tree route which is a 4wd track with some vehicles crossing you and no animals. Consider a private one for 100 dollars then you are flexible.

A good place indeed to be, you automatically realize and feel the transition as you cross the border and hear some good well utterred Swahili words from Tanzanians

Scenic And Serene. The Waterfall Is Breathtaking.

The park found near Mt Meru , at Meru district more than 98% it's safe and secure to visit.

Arusha National Park is located in Tanzania and encompasses diverse landscapes, including Mount Meru, Momela Lakes, and Ngurdoto Crater. It's known for its rich biodiversity, featuring a variety of flora and fauna. Visitors can enjoy activities like hiking, wildlife viewing, and bird watching. The park provides a scenic introduction to Tanzania's natural beauty and is often overlooked in favor of larger parks like Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

This place is the best it has plenty of different animals plenty of different plants they all natural. If your a guy who's like to hang out on nature this is your place. your welcome

The drive, the view, the stop momela, it was awesome. You should definitely visit. But do not exit your vehicles except at designated areas.

The place is so cool and interested

National Park

Very nice for a day trip, you expect to see giraffes, buffalo and maybe elephants

Try visit.. It's nice... Security.. I love this place... Arusha forever

The park is a beautiful place to spent at least two days! There are many different places to visit. Everything is easy to excess.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful and especially surprising parks in Tanzania. It is much less known than the others because it has no carnivores. But the jungle, the Meru volcano, the lake, herbivores and insects are worth a lot ....... (Original) Uno de los parque más bonitos y sobre todo sorprendentes de Tanzania. Es mucho menos conocidos que los otros porque no tiene carnívoros. Pero el bosque selvático, el volcan Meru, el lago, los herbívoros y los insectos merecen la pena una barbaridad.......

Excellent service, open 24 hours and of you have a reliable agent, you are good to crossover! Thumbs up to this one stop border post. So proud!

Awesome security check services

Corruption still exists when crossing the border, for passing goods and people without proper documentation. But they are effectively arranged with tough security, services are fast and 24/7, bureau de change is available and large enough to accommodate large number of buses

(Translated by Google) Wahh good (Original) Wahh good

Cool

Wonderful. One stop has become very very easy. In few minutes we can get both exit and entry stamps all under one roof. And Visa for foreigners also. But I would like to suggest they keep stand by officers at night hours to help to serve large crowds of people faster.

This place is very good

So I'm passing through this border service place. Here is the good, it's clean, the people are fairly friendly, they have security machines to help the process go a bit faster. The bad, disorganized , unnecessary line ups due to confusion. A simple start here sign: STEP 1, then step 2 etc. They also have a lot of staff, that does not lead people. Needless to say proper management of traffic flow is needed to speed things up, a 1hr hold up, can be simply resolved by having signs or staff to great and direct people. Hopefully this small steps can be taken to increase efficiency and better service.

A beautiful place to look at but no much in terms of social amenities

Quite interesting place for uniting East Africa.

Does anyone know if US citizens can get an East Africa Tourist Visa at this border post when traveling from Tanzania? Tnx! I was able to get an East Africa visa here, $100USD.... good for Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda. Don't miss Uganda and Rwanda if you can make it there!

Great for game drive, mountain climbing. Great staff.

Was good

The real tropical dense forest

(Translated by Google) Although expensive but seen everything (Original) Zwar teuer aber alles gesehen

Nice place to view the wild animals and climb Mount Meru (2nd highest in Tanzania)

Nice place to be

The park is close to Arusha city, have varieties of animals including the African big four animals.

It's an incredible place if you want to feel like you're the only one there. It rained most of the time we were there but it made no difference to how magical the experience was.

Very good especially knowing that it's very close to Arusha town. Not so many animals around there, but the nature is what attracted me to the park.

Enjoyed this NP. Have to admit that it was our first park so we were in awe but now that we've visited 4 other parks now, we realize that Arusha NP doesn't nearly have the diversity and #s of animals as the other parks in Tanzania. Despite all this what made Arusha NP unique was the hilly terrain (Mt. Meru), the awesome weather (cool, sunny weather), the ability to do a walking safari, and the good roads where we could drive ourselves through the park in just a Toyota RAV4 that we'd rented.

(Translated by Google) Lovely place. Please bring a picnic basket by the lake with hippies is a great place to relax. Great place for a trip with children. Our 3 year old daughter did it :) (Original) Piekne miejsce. Prosze zabrac ze sobą kosz piknikowy nad jeziorem z hipciami jest super przygotowana miejscowka na odpoczynek. Swietne miejsce na wycieczke z dziećmi. Nasza 3 letnia córka dała radę:)

Wonderful place unlike Serengeti or Ngorongoro. Must see. A lot of monkeys.

amazing animals, you can really close. beautiful views, lots to see.

Several animals can be found here and the Mt. Meru climb can be done in this park. Guys are available but it is a physical challenge to climb.

Beautiful nature right on the foot of Mount Meru. We saw surprisingly many animals, especially giraffes, monkeys and zebras. It is really small and relatively expensive though.

Fabulous place to start your Tanzanian Safari.

Beautiful place, people and animals.

Awesome Experience I recommend it

(Translated by Google) A little poor in animals but a good first park to visit! (Original) Un peu pauvre en animaux mais bon premier parc à visiter !

Arusha National Park covers Mount Meru a prominent in the Arusha, the Park offered varity animals to see, girrafe, impala, baboons, colubus and so many more with no predators! Mount Meru is the second highest peak in Tanzania after Kilimanjaro, Arusha Park is the best place for bird watching, seeing is believing, visit Mount Meru and agree with me

Waste of money and time.. 90% of driving in a bush and no animals

(Translated by Google) Very nice green park. Ideal starter for a week of safari. Nice view of the Meru mountain. Limited diversity of animals. (Original) Zeer mooi groen park. Ideale starter voor een weekje safari. Mooi zicht op de meru berg. Beperkte diversiteit aan dieren.

(Translated by Google) Small park, but there are still a lot of animals and not a lot of tourists. Perfect to do in addition to the ascent of the Kilimanjaro. (Original) Petit parc, mais il y a quand même beaucoup d'animaux et pas beaucoup de touristes. Parfait à faire en complément de l'ascension du kilimandjaro.

Great park with wild animals ... walking safari possible in the park as well. Close up with Buffalos and Giraffe

Nice place always

Surrounded by mountain; great views. You have to experience both sides of the border.

great service and quick one to cross to either side and easy to work with customs

Timely services

Can someone tell me if this border crossing is open for tourists to cross from Tanzania to Kenya? What are the entry requirements covid related? Doo we need a PCR test?

They clear people quite fast so the queues are short most of the time. Very nice views of hills around the area. Very picturesque

Awesome

(Translated by Google) For Africa, the transition procedure is very smooth. (Original) Jak na Afrykę, procedura przejścia bardzo sprawna.

Nice experience

No movement for people across the border only truck are allowed to do so after a covid test for drivers

People are so welcoming and loving

Friendly residents, quick and fast attendance from the offices . Amenities are in plenty for a stop over here.

So good very friendly place I love it

Cheep foods and drinks at the Tanzanian side 💗💗👌🌟

Popular border crossing for travelers moving between Kenya and Tanzania but the Kenya side of the border control seems a bit laxed with sometimes instances of security scanners breaking down thereby resulting in the border control personnel to visually inspect goods and this can be very time consuming. If you need to change currency don’t take an offer from the first person you find, if you get a second opinion you might get better rates.

Good

It is orderly, clearence is quite fast compared to the boarder station in Loitoktok. However the officers in uniform terrorize locals for taking photos of the beautiful surrounding landscape.

Best border I have ever visited in East Africa. Very spacious and comfortable, the staff were supportive and in a very good mood. No hustles from the middle men. Bravo Kenya and Tanzania

Its is the best place for day trip and afordable price than any other national park

I went on a hike up Mt Meru and absolutely loved the park. There was a surprising amount of animals and the forest was stunning.

Your should enjoy same time in Arusha National park, you can visit waterfalls. Most of all if you love birds it one place you can watch with adventure.

Best safari ever. Recommend to stay overnight I side the park to have more connection the the animals.

Most beautiful park to visit with your loved ones . The place is soo welcoming, staff is friendly and my kids were very happy to see different types of animals.

Located in the north east of Arusha. This national park boasts with beautiful lakes of Momella famous for Flamingoes. There are plenty of Animals but no Lions, Cheetahs and Leopard. With plenty of lodges to sleep and picnic sites to camp and enjoy a day out. The view is scenic and perfect to take photos with lake and mountain as your background. Entry fees is 12000 per adult and 20000 for car.

Kleiner aber schöner Nationalpark mit der Möglichkeit viele Wildtiere zu sehen mit Blick auf den Mt Meru. Besonders in Erinnerung bleiben die Flamingo-Schwärme auf dem Momela Lake.
