Tanzania

Arusha National Park

Mount Meru, crater lakes and walking safaris on the doorstep of town.

Overview

Often overlooked, Arusha National Park is the easiest wild place to reach in northern Tanzania — montane forest, the Momella Lakes and the jagged rim of Mount Meru.

Because there are no lions in most of the park, it is one of the few places where you can safely walk and canoe.

Why visit

  • Walking and canoeing safaris
  • Perfect half-day trip from Arusha or the airport
  • Colobus monkeys, giraffe and flamingo in one morning
  • Views of Kilimanjaro on clear days

Things to do

  • Walking safari with an armed ranger
  • Canoeing the Momella Lakes
  • Ngurdoto Crater viewpoints
  • Mount Meru trekking
