Arusha & Arusha National Park
Arusha National Park established 1960, is located in the Arusha Region of north eastern Tanzania and occupies an area of 137sq km. The National Park covers Mt. Meru, a prominent volcano with an elevation of 4566 m. Although its one of Tanzania’s smallest parks, Arusha National Park ranks in pole position as one of the most beautiful and topographically varied wildlife sanctuaries offering a multi-faceted jewel, with an opportunity to explore a beguiling diversity of habitats.
Mount Meru as seen from Arusha
The Park lies on a 300-km axis of Africa’s most famous national parks, running from Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in the west to Kilimanjaro National Park in the east.
It boasts with spectacular landscapes in three distinct areas. In the west, the Meru Crater funnels the Jekukumia River; Ngurdoto Crater in the south-east is grassland. The shallow alkaline Momella Lakes in the north-east have varying algal colors and are known for their wading birds. These are the main attractions.
The park has a diversity of vegetation regions supporting several animal species. The entrance gate leads into shadowy montane forest inhabited by curious blue monkeys and colorful turacos and trogons - the only place where the acrobatic black-and-white colobus monkey is easily seen. The flora and fauna however varies with the topography, and ranges from forest to swamp. The highlands of this park are forested with the peak of Mount Meru rising above the forests to dominate the area.
Arusha National Park has a rich variety of wildlife. It contains a diverse resident population of herbivores, primates and predators including black and white colobus monkeys, baboons, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, leopards, hyenas, waterbucks, wart hogs and a wide range of antelope species. Although elephants are scarce in the Park and lions absent altogether, leopards and spotted hyenas may be seen sneaking around in the early morning and late evening.
Ngurundoto Crater, Arusha National Park
There is a wide range of species of birds that have been recorded in the Park. Several migrating water birds are prominent along the banks of Jekukumia River. The Momela lakes are particularly interesting and perfect spots for bird watching safari in Arusha Park. Visitors cannot miss sight of several predator birds which hide in the forested areas of Mount Meru. Many of the water birds are migratory and found in the park between October and April, with the permanent residents found primarily in the forests. The park also has beautiful flamingoes
