Let’s Uncover and explore the diversity of Arusha National Park together.



This was 2014 when I had a chance to visit Arusha National Park, it was incredible!!





The Park is located on the foothills of Mount Meru, the Africa’s most beautiful volcanoes and 5th highest peak.

It is about 45 minutes drive from Arusha City centre, and you can find this amazing Park.

Most people say Mount Meru  is a good and nice warm up before conquering the Kilimanjaro Mountain.

The Park offer way too much attractions compared to its area

The unforgiving landscapes of Mount Meru and Ash cone, scenic view of Momella Lakes, tropical forest glades,Ngurdoto Crater are just a few

Visitors to this Park will have opportunities to do 

1.Game viewing

2.Ride a horse

3.Climb the mount Meru as well as do organized walks with a ranger!


Wildlife of Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park has a rich variety of wildlife, but visitors shouldn't expect the same game-viewing experience they find in other national parks of Tanzania's northern circuit. Despite the small size of the park, common animals include giraffe, Cape buffalo, zebra, warthog, the black-and-white colobus monkey, the blue monkey, flamingo, elephant, bushbuck and many other African animals. Leopard populations are present, but rarely seen. Birdlife in the forest is prolific, with many forest species more easily seen here than elsewhere on the tourist route - Narina trogon and bar-tailed trogon are both possible highlights for visiting birders, whilst the range of starling species provide somewhat less gaudy interest.

    Arusha National Park may not be the largest in Tanzania, but it has a lot of stunning scenery and fascinating wildlife that visitors may enjoy. This makes it a well-liked destination for travellers travelling to Tanzania, as does its extremely practical placement close to one of the country's main cities. I had visited this place with my tour guide Travel Solidarity and had a great time there.

DID You Know Tanzania is The Home of Coconut Crab?

By
Tanzania is the home of the coconut crab. This crab, the largest crab in the world (and reportedly one of the most delicious), can be found on Chumbe Island of Zanzibar. At up to 1 m (3 ft) long, coconut crabs are not simply the largest land crabs. They are the largest arthropods, the group that includes insects, spiders and crustaceans, that live on land. These crabs has the advantage of living underwater where its weight is supported. Despite their name they eat a varied diet, including lots of fleshy fruit, and they also prey on smaller crabs. When they decide to eat a coconut, they rip strips of husk off with their pincers, then hit it repeatedly until it breaks open. They live in underground burrows, lined with fibres from coconut husks. Unlike most crabs, they are almost entirely land-based, only returning to the sea to lay their eggs. Source: tanzania tourism board CLICK HERE TO READ ALL ARTICLE
