ARUSHA NATIONAL PARK

A canoe safari is a well worth add on to your safari experience

Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park offers great scenic beauty with thick forests, undulating hills, lakes and craters. This park allows for great chances of viewing colobus monkeys, which are some of the most interesting primates with long white tails and vestigial thumbs. The name Colobus is derived from the Latin language meaning mutilated one, as they do not possess a thumb.

What to do in Arusha National Park

We recommend to visit Arusha National Park at the beginning of your Tanzanian safari. The park is great for a walking safari, a canoe safari, a paradise for bird lovers and anyone who loves an enchanting natural lush green scenery!

Best time to visit Arusha National Park

The best time to visit Arusha National Park is during the dry season from June to October and drom December to March. It is easier to spot animals – as they normally gather around the waterholes, rainfall is minimal, the bush is not too thick.

Wildlife

This park is quite unique and does not offer the usual animals that can be found in the other parks. There are no lion and rhino in the park. The black- and white colobus monkey is the drawing card for this park. Other animals that can be seen are giraffe, hippo, warthog, elephant, leopard, hyena, wild dog and cheetah.
