Arusha National Park

Information

This highly underrated park is predominantly inhabited by forest animals, while in the order northern parks, savannah animals are more prevalent. Arusha National Park is the best place in northern Tanzania to spot black-and-white colobus monkeys and bushbuck and to photograph larger species with Mt. Kilimanjaro or Mt. Meru in the background. Early mornings are best for this because Mt. Kilimanjaro is less likely to be covered with clouds. Travelers should consider spending at least half a day here as this park is so different from the other parks and reserves on the "Northern Circuit".
