Northern Tanzania
The closest park to town, and a beautiful way to begin or end a journey: montane forest, the Momella lakes and the jagged crater of Mount Meru.
Arusha National Park is compact, green and refreshingly quiet, with habitats ranging from forest to alpine desert on Meru's upper slopes.
Because there are no lions in the main game-viewing area, walking safaris and canoeing are permitted here.
Jun – Oct
Clear skies and the best chance of Kilimanjaro views.
Nov – May
Green, lush and excellent for forest birding.
40 minutes from Arusha and about an hour from Kilimanjaro International Airport.
Yes, guided walking safaris are permitted with an armed park ranger, which makes it one of the few northern parks where you can explore on foot.
