Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park is one of the most beautiful parks of Tanzania and it is close to Arusha town (about 35 km). This park is very popular for day trips. It is one of the smaller parks (137 square km) in Northern Tanzania.

Apart from huge numbers of wild animals, fauna and flora, the park contains three spectacular wonders:

	The Mount Meru Crater (4,575 meters);
	The Momella Lakes
	The Ngurdoto Crater

Mount Kilimanjaro with an altitude of only  5,895 meters lies to east side of the park and at clear weather you can see it from different locations in the park.

In this park you will find antilopes, buffalos, rhinoceroses, hyenas, baboons, giraffes, elephants and numerous different species of birds. If you are lucky, you might even see a leopard.

The best time to visit Arusha National Park is the dry season from July until October or after the short rains from November until March.
