Arusha National Park

The nearest park to the city of Arusha, this underrated gem is unique and diverse as it offers a rich wildlife, diverse landscapes.

Main attractions: Mount Meru, at 4,566 metres, this is the second highest peak in Tanzania and it dominates the park’s landscape and it is arguably a challenging climb to those wanting to warm before Kilimanjaro hike. We always recommend a day of rest between climbs!

Arusha national park is also home to Ngurdoto crater, with many regarding it as a MINI Ngorongoro and the colorful momella lakes with its alkaline composition allowing different algae to grow here and therefore attract myriad of bird species as well as flamimgoes. A visit to Arusha national park is complimented with game drives, nature walk or canoe ride!
