Tanzania National Parks
Arusha National Park
A Wildlife Haven in the Heart of Tanzania
Nestled between the towering peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru, Arusha National Park may be small—just 53 square miles (137 square km)—but it packs an incredible punch when it comes to diverse habitats and wildlife.
Step into this dynamic landscape and discover a world teeming with life. Arusha is a mosaic of natural beauty from the dramatic Ngurduto Crater, a miniature volcanic wonder, to the shimmering Momella Lakes, alive with vibrant waterfowl. The park’s varied ecosystems range from lush highland rainforests and serene acacia woodlands to the winding Jekukumia River, each home to an astonishing array of creatures.
Watch in awe as Colobus and velvet monkeys swing through the trees, while giraffes glide gracefully across the plains. Keep your eyes peeled for elephants, buffalo, and the occasional hippo, all thriving in this rich sanctuary. And if that’s not enough, the park also offers unbeatable panoramic views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru, standing sentinel over this extraordinary wildlife haven.
