Game viewing around the Momela Lakes is at a laid-back pace, and while passing through the forest, many visitors stop to search for troupes of rare colobus monkeys playing in the canopy.
Established in 1960, Arusha National Park is a treasure trove of biodiversity, unique ecosystems, and spectacular views of Mt. Meru. The park's name, Arusha, comes from of the Wa-Arusha Tribe, native to this region. Given its close proximity to the airport in Arusha, Arusha National Park is a popular destination for visitors traveling on longer northern circuit safaris. The small national park includes Mt. Meru's slopes, summit, ash cone, the Momela Lakes, Ngurdoto Crater, and the lush highland forests that blanket its lower slopes.
TAT suggests the popular and economical guided bushwalk activity, which grants the opportunity to be led through the wilderness by a seasoned park ranger, bringing visitors up close and personal with some of the area's most commonly spotted wildlife. The bushwalk ends at the spectacular 100-foot-tall Tululusia Waterfall—the perfect photo-op to remember your amazing day by!
