About Arusha National Park

Arusha NP covers just 552 km² but packs in remarkable diversity: the slopes of Mt Meru, the emerald-green Ngurdoto Crater (a mini-Ngorongoro), the 7 Momella Lakes thick with lesser flamingos, and plentiful giraffe, buffalo, zebra and black-and-white colobus monkeys. Perfect as a warm-up day before Kilimanjaro or Serengeti.

Highlights

  • Ngurdoto 'little Ngorongoro' crater
  • Momella Lakes flamingo flocks
  • Canoe + walking safaris
  • Black-and-white colobus monkeys
  • Mt Meru trailhead
