Arusha National Park

Arusha National Park is small but beautiful. Close to the famous "safari town" of Arusha (29 km) and Kilimanjaro International Airport, it is ideal for day safaris. With abundant wildlife for a park of this size, Arusha offers the opportunity to explore a great diversity of habitats and invites visitors to enjoy the tranquility of its multicolored lakes.
