5.00The park is not so big but has a lot to offer and the walking safari makes this park very unique. We went on a half day safari in Arusha park, We were more happy to pick this park because we saw many animals in just a very close distance and our armed rangers were very professional about these animals. Our driver guide is very knowledgeable and good at tracking animals and interesting facts. I recommend.
