Welcome to Arusha National Park
The transition between unappealing urban chaos and pristine mountain hiking trails is rarely as abrupt as it is in Arusha National Park, Tanzania. One of Tanzania’s most beautiful and topographically varied protected areas, the park is dominated by Mt. Meru, an almost perfect volcanic cone with a spectacular crater. It also shelters Ngorongoro Crater , with its swamp-filled floor and lost-world feel, making it a must-visit destination in Tanzania.
At 552 sq km, Arusha National Park is a small but scenic national park in Tanzania. While the wildlife viewing here is not as abundant as in other Northern Circuit safari parks, visitors can still spot buffalo, giraffes, zebras, warthogs, and colobus monkeys. However, these minor details are quickly forgotten when you’re walking amid the soul-stirring scenery, enjoying guided hiking tours in Arusha National Park, and exploring unforgettable trekking opportunities on Mount Meru.
