Arusha National Park – Tanzania’s Hidden Safari Gem
Arusha National Park is one of Tanzania’s most underrated safari destinations, offering incredible natural diversity within a relatively small area. Located just a short drive from Arusha town, the park is home to the scenic Mount Meru, lush rainforests, sparkling Momella Lakes, and open savannahs. Unlike the larger national parks, Arusha is perfect for half-day or full-day safaris, with unique activities such as walking safaris and canoeing that bring visitors closer to wildlife. The park shelters giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos, flamingos, and black-and-white colobus monkeys, making it a photographer’s paradise.
