Arusha National Park covers an area of 137 sq km/53 sq mi, and is located near the town of Arusha between Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. Despite its size, the park offers a spectacular landscape and a diverse wildlife population. Only a few parks offer the possibility of a walking safari where you have a unique opportunity to observe the wild animals at close quarters.
The park has a wealth of wildlife including Colobus Monkeys, velvet monkeys, bushbucks, buffalos, red forest duikers, hippos, elephants, and giraffes. Leopard and lions populations are present, but rarely seen. Birdlife, especially waterfowl, is abundant and interesting.
