Safari Attractions Arusha National Park

Activities
Arusha
A famous day trip for tourists about to embark from the town of Arusha on longer northern circuit safaris, Arusha national park is a germ of different ecosystems and spectacular views of Meru mountain, the crater from which the region acquires its name. the small national park constitutes the slopes, peaks and ash cone of Meru montaing the Momela lakes, Ngurdoto crater, and the luxuriant and succulent highland forests which blanket its lower slopes. The viewing of the game near the Momela lakes is at a laid-back and quiet level, and while passing through the forest various tourists stop to look for troops of scarce colubus monkeys playing in the canopy.

Mountain climbing at Meru or enjoying the smaller trails that criss- cross its lower slopes is a famous practice for tourists to Arusha national park. The three-day trip to get to the crater’s peak is a quieter and to some, challenging option than the popular summit of neighbouring Kilimanjaro mountain. A long the lower slopes, tracks to rivers and water falls make a relaxing day hike for tourists who do not wish to try the rather hard climb. Ancient fig tree forests, crystal clear waters falling from mountain streams, and an opportunity to view calabus monkeys are the attractions and pleasures of Arusha national park
