A hidden gem at the foot of Mount Meru

The scenic, tranquil Arusha National Park, rich in flora and fauna, is the ideal gateway to northern Tanzania.

Located a short drive from the city of Arusha, this small but beautiful park is often overlooked, despite offering unique safari experiences. Visitors can spot giraffes, buffalo, zebras and black and white colobus monkeys, with Mount Meru, Tanzania's second highest peak, as a backdrop. The Momella Lakes attract flocks of flamingos, and Ngurdoto Crater offers incredible views. Arusha National Park is ideal for day trips, nature walks and those seeking a serene start or end to their Northern Circuit adventure.
