Arusha National Park covers 552 square kilometers of protected wilderness, yet it holds an extraordinary variety of ecosystems. From Ngurdoto Crater’s lush wetlands, often called “Little Ngorongoro,” to the sparkling Momella Lakes that change colors with algae and flamingo gatherings, the park is a treasure chest of natural wonders. Its location makes it the perfect day trip or start to a longer safari adventure across northern Tanzania.
The park is not only rich in landscapes but also in wildlife. While it doesn’t host the Big Five in large numbers, it’s renowned for its giraffes, the highest density in Tanzania, along with Cape buffalo, bushbucks, hippos, and playful primates like blue monkeys and black-and-white colobus monkeys. Birdwatchers are also in paradise here, with over 400 species recorded.
