Overview
The perfect day trip from Arusha town — canoeing among giraffes, walking with rangers on the slopes of Mount Meru.
Set at the foot of Mount Meru — Tanzania's second-highest peak at 4,566 m — Arusha National Park compresses an astonishing range of habitats into a small area: montane forest, the Ngurdoto Crater, and the alkaline Momella Lakes.
It's one of very few parks in Tanzania where you can walk on foot with an armed ranger and canoe on the lakes. Wildlife is smaller-scale than in the bigger reserves but includes giraffe, buffalo, colobus monkeys and flamingo.
Adventurous travellers use the park as the launchpad for a 3 – 4 day trek up Mount Meru, an excellent acclimatisation climb before Kilimanjaro.
