Arusha National Park

Park Zone

Northern Zone

Arusha National Park is a small charming park, located in the northeast of Tanzania. It is near the city of Arusha and provides great views of Mount Kilimanjaro. The park is a scenic and diverse park that offers a wide range of animal and plant species.  And it also has a rich diversity of landscapes. From lakes, waterfalls, and swamps to volcanos, mountains, and tropical rainforests – the ideal reserve for all kinds of animals. The swamps, rainforests, and lakes attract many beautiful birds including silvery-cheeked hornbill and thousands of pink-hued flamingos. This park is also the only place in northern Tanzania where you can easily spot the black-and-white colobus monkey.

Mount Meru

Mount Meru is located within Arusha National Park. This dormant volcano is Tanzania’s second-highest mountain at a height of 4,566 meters (14,990 feet). It is a beautiful, but challenging mountain to climb. The panorama views from the summit over the steppes of the park, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the Momella Lakes are spectacular. A day hike on Mount Meru gives you another perspective and offers a nice change. We also organize climbs to the peak…
Canoeing on the lake or walking safari

One of the popular safari activities in Arusha National Park is a canoe or walking safari with an armed ranger. The Momella lakes in the northeast for example offer a large variety of animals. They are in an open landscape and are home to hippos and all kinds of birds. Countless bucks and buffalo can be seen near the lakes. A great chance to enjoy wildlife up close, from a different perspective than sitting in a safari vehicle. It was an absolutely memorable safari experience!
