Arusha National Park

　　Arusha National Park is located in the Arusha Region of northeastern Tanzania, Africa, covering an area of 137 square kilometers and is inhabited by a variety of wildlife. Common animals include giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, warthogs, colobus monkeys, and flamingos. Mount Meru, the second highest mountain in Tanzania, is also within the park boundaries.

　　Arusha National Park boasts a rich diversity of wildlife habitats, including savannah, montane forest, heath, soda lake, alpine, and desert freshwater lakes. There are three uniquely distinctive attractions: the Ngurdoto Crater (often considered a miniature version of the Ngorongoro Crater), Momella Lakes (a series of shallow alkaline lakes fed by groundwater), and Mount Meru (one of the worthwhile mountains to climb in Africa). On clear days, the breathtaking view of Mount Kilimanjaro can be seen from every corner of the park.

　　For visitors to Arusha National Park, climbing Mount Meru or strolling along the winding trails on the lower slopes are popular activities. Ancient fig tree forests, crystal-clear streams cascading down mountain peaks, and the chance to closely observe colobus monkeys are among the spectacular sights and endless delights that Arusha National Park has to offer.
