Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park in northern Tanzania is the smallest park, but with its numerous lakes, forests, waterfalls, plains and craters, it offers beautiful scenery for hiking.

It is home to Mount Meru, the second highest mountain in Tanzania, a 4,566-meter volcano in the Arusha region. Its ascent is ideal for altitude acclimatization for Kilimandjaro, which can be seen from here on clear days.

The path is accompanied by many birds such as: Flamingos, ducks, ibises, Egyptian geese, pelicans, crowned eagles, colorful turacos, kites, hornbills.

In the park live: Masai giraffes, buffaloes, warthogs, zebras, antelopes, leopards, black and white colobus, hippos.

Only rarely do you encounter lions or elephants here.

The park has the advantage of being close to the city of Arusha and not far from KJO international airport.
