Arusha National Park

Places to Go - National Parks & Reserves

A popular day trip for visitors about to embark from the town of Arusha on longer northern circuit safaris, Arusha National Park is a gem of varied ecosystems and spectacular views of Mt. Meru, the crater that gives the region its name. The small national park includes the slopes, summit, and ash cone of Mt. Meru, the Momela Lakes, Ngurdoto Crater, and the lush highland forests that blanket its lower slopes. Game viewing around the Momela Lakes is at a laid-back and quiet pace, and while passing through the forest many visitors stop to search for troupes of rare colubus monkeys playing in the canopy.

Climbing Mt. Meru or enjoying the smaller trails that criss-cross its lower slopes is a popular activity for visitors to Arusha National Park. The three-day trek to reach the crater’s summit is a quieter, and some say more challenging alternative than the famous peak of nearby Mount Kilimanjaro. Along the lower slopes, paths to rivers and waterfalls make a relaxing day hike for visitors who don’t want to attempt the rather arduous climb. Ancient fig tree forests, crystal clear waters cascading from mountain streams, and a chance to spot colobus monkeys are the attractions and pleasures of Arusha National Park.

Keith Hunter & Kelly Williams told us:
Hi Kassim, I just wanted to write a quick email to say a massive thank you to you for all your help before we came on safari and also to Bakari (im not sure how his name is spelt!) who was a fantastic guide for us. To be honest before we came we were a little concerned due to some feedback we had seen on Trip Adviser but we honestly could not have asked for more and you guys far surpassed our expectations! As the safari was far cheaper than other companies we thought we might be sharing our vehicle with other people but we were ecstatic to have our own and the accommodation we stayed in blew us away. Bakari was amazing; he was such a friendly guy and also very knowledgeable. He was very professional and could not have done more so please thank him from us. Overall you have got two very happy customers here and we have already passed your details on to at least 3 friends so far who are looking at safari\'s in the future. Keep up the good work and thank you for providing us with the highlight in our trip of a lifetime - we were so impressed we got engaged at the Ngorogoro Crater Kind regards Keith Hunter & Kelly Williams

Mike and Lisa told us:
We always wanted to go to Africa, so when we heard about Tanzania through one of our friends who did a tour with Bobby Tours, we just said, \\\"Sign us up\\\". We knew a little bit about the region before the trip, but we didn\\\'t really have an itinerary in mind. We just left that totally in their hands because we knew it was going to be wonderful. But even so, it exceeded our expectations
