Located along the famous northern safari circuit, the park sits between iconic destinations such as the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Kilimanjaro National Park. The park is conveniently located just northeast of Arusha city, approximately 35 km from Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA).

The park is rich in wildlife and birdlife, offering visitors a peaceful safari experience surrounded by stunning natural scenery. Common animals include giraffes, Cape buffalo, zebras, warthogs, black-and-white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, flamingos, elephants, and bushbucks. Leopards are also present, though rarely seen. Arusha National Park is especially popular among birdwatchers due to its rich forest birdlife, with species such as the Narina trogon and bar-tailed trogon considered special highlights for visitors.
