Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park is one of the smallest parks in Tanzania, well known for its five distinct vegetation zones. There is a water forest with towering fig and mahogany trees, extensive marshland, stretches of grassland, parklands with acacia trees, and scrubland on the face of the Rift Valley. In spite of its modest size, 137 square kilometer, there is a lot to be seen in this park: the volcanic Ngurdoto crater, with wild animals on the crater floor, the seven lakes of Momella, and Mount Meru the second highest mountain in the country!

Arusha National Park is the only place in Tanzania where you can see black & white guereza monkeys (colobus). Keep an eye on the long, white bushy tail, which is hanging from the trees. The monkeys are shy, so it is important to be quiet. It is about 55 km from Arusha to the Momella Gate. The roads in the park are steep, so the car must be in a good condition. Hide outs have been created for observation. Arusha National Park is the only park where you can have a walking safari in the Northern Circuit of Tanzania. The park can be visited year round, but in March and April it takes a 4×4 wheel drive to get around the park
