Arusha National Park

Arusha national park. 

Arusha national park is a less visited park in Tanzania. It is a park that is very close to the Arusha city. The park carries out the best attractions of mount meru, Ngurdoto crater and Momela lake. The Momela lake attracts over 200 bird species, the migratory and the resident birds.  The black and white colobus monkey can be spotted easily while the marshy floor of the crater is dotted with herds of buffalo, warthog and zebra. Elephants can be spotted here too. Mount Meru is the second highest mountain in Tanzania. The ascent is steep but the route passes through parkland, forest, a giant heather zone and moorland. The summit is reached by a narrow ridge which provides stunning views of the volcano cone lying several thousand feet below in the crater. 

Activities in this park include, game drives, bird watching, mount meru hiking, nature walking, canoeing, waterfalls hike etc. 

The park can be visited throughout the year but the best time to visit is during the dry season of between June to October and December to February.
