Arusha National park is located west side of Kilimanjaro mountain and, although this park is only 542 km square (206 square miles) in size, it is an excellent spot for game viewing all year round. Because Arusha is only 50km(30miles) from mount Kilimanjaro it offers some spectacular views of Africa's largest mountain. The second-largest mountain in Tanzania is found here-mount Meru. It is an active composite volcano with an elevation of 4566 m (14,980ft). The landscape consists of rolling grassy hills, coniferous forests, and small craters and lakes, including the lovely momela lakes and the impressive Ngurdoto crater.

This park is famous for the rare acrobatic Black and white colobus monkey, other animals found here are blue monkeys, baboons, buffaloes, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, zebras, wildebeest, leopard, warthogs, elephants. The Park is entirely devoid of lions.

Arusha National Park is also recommended for avid bird watchers, where colorful flamingos, trogons, and big birds of prey can be seen. Call Kingse Guides now for more details about personal safaris and game drives.
