ARUSHA NATIONAL PARK
Located only 45 kilometres from Arusha, this relatively small park (137 square
kilometers) includes a wide range of habitats, from alkaline crater lakes and
swamps to the highlands montane forests and the summit of Mt. Meru, the fourth
highest mountain of Africa. Mammals include buffalo, elephant, giraffe, hippopotamus,
Zebra, Leopard, waterbuck, reedbuck and almost 400 species of birds. It is famous
for the beautiful black and white colobus monkey which springs from branch to
branch in the tall rain forest trees and the shy duiker which skulks below. The
park is ideal for a day game drive or a pleasant few hours walk. Those who plan
to tackle Mount Meru, however must consider three full days.
