Travel
Best Time To Visit
The Best Time to visit Arusha National Park is during the dry season, from June to October, when wildlife is easier to spot as animals gather around waterholes. This period also offers pleasant weather with clear skies, perfect for hiking and exploring the park’s diverse landscapes. For birdwatching, the wet season from November to April is ideal, as migratory birds flock to the park’s lakes and forests.
- January – February: Ideal for spotting newborn wildlife, especially the wildebeest calving in the nearby Ndutu area, offering a rare and moving experience.
- June – July: The dry season brings clear skies, making it perfect for game viewing and hiking, with wildlife concentrated around water sources.
- April – May: The wet season, quieter with fewer tourists, offers lush landscapes and the chance to enjoy the park at a slower pace.
Wild Life
- Giraffes: Graceful giraffes roam the park’s open savannas, often spotted browsing on acacia trees.
- Colobus Monkeys: Watch playful black-and-white colobus monkeys swing through the forest, a highlight for nature lovers.
