Arusha National Park

Animals, plants and mountains at your doorstep

Arusha National Park is beautifully situated: Between the peaks of Meru and Kilimanjaro, it impresses with its spectacular landscapes and rich flora and fauna.

With an area of 137 square kilometers, Arusha National Park is rather small. Nevertheless, the nature reserve attracts many visitors. No wonder! It has everything from tropical to high alpine – including a top view of the majestic peak of Kilimanjaro on the eastern horizon. However, the largest part of the area is taken up by the equally impressive Mount Meru, which is 4562 meters high.

Arusha National Park is not far from the towns of Moshi and Arusha and Arusha Airport. This makes it easy and uncomplicated to explore on a day trip. Even on a short safari, you can admire a diverse range of animal and plant species in this charming park away from the crowds. Thanks to the possibility of making day trips, you can also experience a rather inexpensive safari here.

From shade and forest plants to tropical palms and alpine highland vegetation, there is so much to discover in Arusha National Park. 400 different bird species, including many water birds, migratory birds and native species, have already been spotted. Thousands of flamingos also gather at the lakes at times. And black and white colobus monkeys can always be seen in the trees.

Short trip or longer? We’ll show you what’s possible.

The scenic beauty and diversity of Arusha National Park is reflected in three different zones: There is the Ngurdoto Crater in the east, the Momela Lakes in the center and Mount Meru in the west, which, as mentioned, takes up most of the area. Its summit is also the second highest point in Tanzania after Kilimanjaro and the fourth highest in East Africa.
