Often overlooked, Arusha National Park packs montane forest, the Momella lakes and the slopes of Mount Meru into a small area. It's ideal for a day trip, a walking safari or a canoe on the lakes.
A great first day
Giraffe, buffalo and zebra graze the Serengeti Ndogo (‘little Serengeti’) clearing, black-and-white colobus monkeys leap through the forest and the Momella lakes often turn pink with flamingos. On a clear day Kilimanjaro rises to the east.
Walking with an armed ranger is permitted, and the park is the starting point for climbs of Mount Meru.
