Arusha
National Park, Tanzania
 The closest national park to Arusha town – northern Tanzania’s
safari capital – Arusha National Park is a multi-faceted jewel,
often overlooked by safari goers, despite offering the
opportunity to explore a beguiling diversity of habitats within
a few hours.
The entrance gate leads into shadowy mountane forest inhabited by
inquisitive blue monkeys and colourful turacos and trogons – the
only place on the northern safari circuit where the acrobatic
black-and-white colobus monkey is easily seen. In the midst of
the forest stands the spectacular Ngurdoto Crater, whose steep,
rocky cliffs enclose a wide marshy floor dotted with herds of
buffalo and warthog. ... red more about
