Arusha National Park

The park contains diverse ecosystems spanning across 137 square kilometers, including rainforests, woodlands, savannas, and the prominent Mount Meru landscape.

The park was established in 1960 as a conservation area to protect the native wildlife populations and preserve the natural landscapes for future generations.

Local Maasai communities maintain their traditional practices within the park boundaries, contributing to regional conservation through their ecological knowledge.

Walking safaris, game drives, and bird watching activities are available through designated entrance gates, with guides providing detailed wildlife information.

The Momella Lakes within the park support numerous water birds and maintain different mineral compositions, resulting in varying water colors.
