Recommended number of days at this location: 1 day
Arusha National Park is a small park located just an hour's drive from Moshi or 30 minutes fromt he city of Arusha. It is a lovely park with a variety of landscapes: plains, forest, lakes, and Mt Meru - the second highest mountain in Tanzania. Surprisingly, it is not heavily visited. This might be due to the fact that some of the most popular safari animals are not present such as lions, cheetahs, rhinos, and elephants. The park does have plenty of giraffes and antelopes. In addition to vehicle safaris there are options for walking safaris (with an armed park ranger) and canoe rentals. See the mountain trekking page of this website to learn about Mt Meru treks. Besides the huts used for Mt Meru treks, there are no accommodations inside of the park. But there are very many options not far from the park. Because of the small size of the park this destination is seldom done as more than a day trip from Moshi or Arusha.
