All about Arusha National Park

 

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.
