I was in TZ to do the Northern Circuit but read somewhere that Arusha NP was worth a visit, so I arrived a couple of days early and was given a private full day tour here. It was well worth it. If you are not desperate to tick those five boxes or you've already done it, then come here. It is small so a day is enough. One thing that surprised me which I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere was the butterflies, lots of them, large and vividly coloured. And, you have most environments in a small area, mountain, crater, forest, plains and lakes. Also, you can get quite close to the flamingos, which you can't in places like Ngorongoro. Lots of giraffe, buck, etc, and of course those gorgeous, b+w Collobus monkeys. Not dramatic or awe inspiring just totally charming.

Too many other cars to enjoy the wildlife

The diversity in Arusha National park is amazing. Especially the rainforest part. I felt like Alice in wonderland. Thousands and thousands of butterflies, beautiful trees and lightfall through the trees, then the scenery changes in mountains and lakes full of flamingo's. Wildlife is everywhere. Go there!

I visited the park to climb Mount Meru and do a game walk or two. Walking through the bush with buffalo nearby is an unreal experience (you are accompanied by an armed ranger). The climb to Mount Meru's summit is quite tough, but there are good cabins along the way which are warm and well kept. Spectacular views from the park including the sun rising behind Kilimanjaro.

Not much excitement here the alternatives of Ngorongoro , Tarangire and manyara or even serengeti are better
