Day 1

Early in the morning at 7:00 am, you will be picked up from your hotel in Arusha town and transferred to Arusha National Park. The park (137km²), has terrain ranging from open savannah through acacia scrublands to Afromontane cloud and rainforest, as well as Afro-alpine vegetation similar to Mount Kilimanjaro.

The park and the town derive their name from the Wa-Arusha people who traditionally live in this area. The Ngurdoto Crater, Momela Lakes, the highland montane forest, and the rugged Mount Meru (4,575m), are the four distinctive features of the park. Although small, the park has a wealth of wildlife including colobus monkeys, vervet monkeys, bushbucks, buffaloes, red forest duikers, hippos, elephants, and giraffes. Birdlife, especially waterfowl, is abundant and interesting.
