Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park, although smaller than most in Tanzania, has a range of habitats that consist of the forest of Mount Meru, Ngurdoto Crater in the southeast section of the park and Momela Lakes, a series of seven crater lakes.

Black and white Colobus monekys are easily spotted in the forested area while the marshy floor of the crater is dotted with herds of buffalo, zebra and warthog. Momela Lakes is home to a large selection of resident and migrant water birds.

Climbing Mount Meru is a popular activity for visitors to Arusha National Park and the abundance of game provides an excellent opportunity for wildlife viewing. On a clear day the summits of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru can be seen from the rim of Ngurdoto Crater
