One of Tanzania's smallest and often bypassed protected areas, Arusha National Park is more than worth a visit. It is home to the impressive Mount Meru whose irregular shaped peak raises high above the green scenery.
Arusha National Park is extremely diverse with rolling grassy hills, shadowy montane forests inhabited by the Blue and Black-and-White Colobus Monkeys, the spectacular Ngurdoto Crater and the serene alkaline Momella lakes attracting thousands of flamingos and other water birds.
Herds of buffaloes and zebras graze peacefully the plains of the “small Serengeti”, giraffes feed from the acacia trees and occasionally you may spot a leopard or hyena.
What to do and sight at Arusha National Park
Game drive - thanks to its small size, this area forms a great introduction with Tanzania's wildlife.
Walking Safari - hike up in the foothills of the Mount Meru with some panoramic views while keeping an eye out for wildlife.
Canoe Safari - enjoy the tranquil beauty of the clear alkaline Momella Lakes in a traditional dugout canoe.
Climb Mount Meru - hike Africa's 5th highest mountain (4566), not as high as the Kilimanjaro but according to many absolutely more challenging!
