Arusha National Park is a popular Tanzania safari destination from Moshi/Arusha town for 1-day tour trips. This small national park includes the slopes, summit, and ash cone of mount Meru. Momela Lake, Ngurdoto Crater, and the lush highland forest blanket Arusha national park on lower slopes. Game spotting around the Momela Lake is at a easygoing and slow pace. While passing through the Arusha national park forest many visitors stop to search for troupes of rare colobus monkeys playing in the canopy.

Climbing Mt. Meru or enjoying the smaller trails that crisscross its lower slopes is a popular activity for visitors to Arusha National Park. The three-day trek to reach the crater’s summit is quieter, and some say more challenging alternative than the famous peak of nearby Mount Kilimanjaro. Along the lower slopes, the paths to rivers and waterfalls create a relaxing day hike for visitors who don’t want to attempt the rather arduous climb. Ancient fig tree forests, crystal clear waters cascading from mountain streams, and a chance to spot colobus monkeys are the attractions and pleasures of Arusha National Park.
Arusha National Park is the closest national park to Arusha town – northern Tanzania’s safari capital. Arusha National Park is a multi-faceted jewel, often overlooked by safari goers, despite offering the opportunity to explore a beguiling diversity of habitats within a few hours. The entrance gate leads into a shadowy montane forest inhabited by inquisitive blue monkeys and colorful Turacos and trogons. The only place on the northern safari circuit where the acrobatic black and white colobus monkey is easily seen. Amid the forest stands the spectacular Ngurdoto crater, whose steep rocky cliffs enclose a wide marshy floor dotted with herds of buffalo, giraffes, and warthog this will be the end of Tanzania safari day trips to Arusha National Park.
