Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park is a protected area in northern Tanzania, located just northeast of the city of Arusha. It is a relatively small park, covering an area of only 137 square kilometers, but it is home to a diverse range of wildlife and landscapes. One of the main features of Arusha National Park is Mount Meru, the second highest peak in Tanzania after Mount Kilimanjaro. Climbing Mount Meru is a popular activity for visitors to the park, and the views from the summit are breathtaking. In addition to Mount Meru, Arusha National Park also contains a variety of other landscapes, including forests, lakes, and grasslands. The Momela Lakes, a series of shallow alkaline lakes, are a highlight of the park and are home to a variety of bird species, including flamingos. The park is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, including giraffes, buffalos, zebras, and various antelope species. It is also one of the few places in Tanzania where visitors can see the black-and-white colobus monkey. Overall, Arusha National Park is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in experiencing the natural beauty and diversity of Tanzania.
