This park is highly predominantly inhabited by forest animals while in the other northern parks, Savannah animal are more prevalent. Arusha national park is the best place in the northern Tanzania to spot black and white colobus monkeys and bushbuck and to photograph larger species with Mt. Kilimanjaro or Mt. Meru in the background.
Early morning are the best for this because Mt. Kilimanjaro is less likely to be covered with clouds. Travelers should consider spending at least half a day here at this park is so different from the other parks and reserves on the northern circuit.
This 53 square mile (137 km) is actually the merger of the three regions Meru Crater, Momela lakes where canoe safaris and walking safaris are offered, and Ngurdoto Crater which is the best place for wildlife viewing, likely to see buffalos, red duiker, and Bohor reedbuck.
