Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park is a popular destination for day trip visitors who are about to embark from the Town of Arusha on longer Northern circuit safaris. Arusha National Park is a gem of varied ecosystems and spectacular views of Mt. Meru, the Crater that gives the region its name. The small National Park includes the slopes, summit, and ash cone of Mt. Meru, the Momela Lakes, Ngurdoto Crater, and the lush highland forests that blanket its lower slopes. Game viewing around the Momela Lakes is at a laid-back and quiet pace, and while passing through the Forest many visitors stop to search for troupes of rare Colubus Monkeys playing in the Canopy.
