Arusha is a lovely half day spent before starting safari. This is only park in Tanzania to see the beautiful bkack and white Colobus Monkey.

Small park, easy to get to with some wonderful mountain scenery. Limited selection of wildlife.
Arusha N.P. is a convenient stop if you are staying in Arusha. Monkeys and antelope are common and flamingos frequent the lake.
Relaxing day unwinding after climbing Kilimanjaro
We visited Arusha NP the day after climbing Kili. The journey over from Moshi, where we were based, showed us more of the region, and Arusha NP offered an un-hurried day out. Our guides took us to their favourite spots; we saw many giraffe and zebra, baboons and colobus monkeys. Best treat was seeing Flamingos in a ring 1-3 deep all around big Momela lake. The park is very scenic, especially Ngurdoto Crater, and it would be good to return to see more of it, perhaps by climbing Mt Meru. Arusha NP offers quite a contrast to the almost complete absence of wildlife on Kili!

We didn't see that much animals at Arusha National Park (though it's always a matter of luck). But we still enjoyed the different landscape and beauty of this national park. We also booked a walking safari to the waterfall which was really a great experience. It's definitely something totally different (and worth doing) as you feel more like beeing a part of the nature than you would do sitting in a car. Moreover here you can find animals you won't see at the Serengeti such as colobus monkeys.
It was amazing to see so many animals in such a natural habitat.
The wildlife was diverse and numerous; you saw something wonderful around every turn! I particularly enjoyed the variety of primates, especially the baboons (and the albino baboon!). The scenery was absolutely beautiful as well. The weather was perfect-it was comfortable all day (a sweatshirt sufficed in the morning and shorts and a t-shirt were great in the afternoon). The park was clean and peaceful. We booked though Carnival Safaris and the guides were very knowledgeable and fun; I'd definitely book with them again!
