Arusha National Park

Area: 137 km²
Arusha National Park is only 25 km outside Arusha and is one of Tanzania's smallest national parks. The park encompasses many interesting environments - forests, lake systems, wetlands, mountains, meadows and grasslands. Arusha National Park is a natural area with outstanding beauty as it lies between the peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro (5895 m asl) and Mount Meru (4565 m asl). This is probably the best national park for getting giraffes close in as they are less shy here than in other parks. The number of bird species in Arusha amounts to no less than about 400. An area of ​​interest in the park is the Ngurdoto crater, which is 20 km wide and 100 meters deep.
