About Arusha National Park

Discover the Enchanting Beauty of Arusha National Park with Tanzania Authentic

Nestled in the heart of Tanzania, a land known for its vibrant wildlife and breathtaking landscapes, Arusha National Park stands as a jewel of natural beauty and a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. As Tanzania Authentic, Arusha’s premier tour operator, we invite you to embark on a journey to this spectacular park, where the wild spirit of Africa beats in every corner.

The Gateway to Tanzanian Wildlife

Arusha National Park may be one of the smaller national parks in Tanzania, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in its diverse ecosystems and the variety of wildlife contained within. Located just a short drive from Arusha city, the park is the perfect starting point for an unforgettable safari experience. It offers a unique blend of landscapes, from the lush water forests of Ngurdoto Crater to the alpine vegetation of Mount Meru, the second highest peak in Tanzania.

A Symphony of Landscapes

The park’s topography is a spectacular showcase of volcanic craters, rolling green hills, and tranquil lakes. Ngurdoto Crater, often referred to as the "Little Ngorongoro," is a volcanic crater that is approximately 3 km in width with its steep sides enclosing a wide marshy floor dotted with herds of buffalo and warthogs.

The Momela Lakes, each with its own hue from deep blue to bright green, are alkaline lakes favored by wading birds and are one of the best places in Tanzania to spot flamingos. The scenic beauty of the park is further magnified by the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, creating postcard-worthy views at every turn.

Mount Meru – The Climber’s Paradise

For adventure seekers, the climb up Mount Meru offers a challenging and rewarding trek. Standing at 4,566 meters, it is the fifth highest mountain in Africa. The climb takes trekkers through a variety of landscapes, starting from savannah and progressing to forest and alpine meadows, and finally reaching the barren summit with its spectacular views of the volcanic cone and surrounding plains.

Wildlife Galore

Despite its modest size, Arusha National Park is home to a wide array of wildlife. While it may not boast the same number of large mammals as some of its more famous neighbors, the park offers opportunities to see giraffes, zebras, and antelopes grazing in the open grasslands. The park is also a sanctuary for the endangered black-and-white colobus monkey, which is easily spotted in the lush canopy.

Predators such as leopards and hyenas are occasional visitors, making every safari drive an exciting venture. The park’s birdlife is prolific, with over 400 species recorded, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.
