Arusha National Park
Arusha National Park
Though relatively small, Arusha National Park boasts remarkable diversity in its landscapes, from the towering Mount Meru and open grasslands to alkaline lakes, lush forests, and a dramatic volcanic crater. Conveniently located just a short drive from Arusha or Moshi, it's an ideal destination for a day trip or as the starting point for your safari adventure.
The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including blue monkeys, baboons, colobus monkeys, zebras, warthogs, and many bird species. Arusha National Park is also famous for hosting Africa's largest population of giraffes, ensuring encounters with these graceful animals. Larger game such as elephants and lions are present but rarely seen during a day visit. The Momella Lakes are especially spectacular, teeming with hippos and a vibrant array of birds, including the iconic pink flamingos.
