Arusha Day Trip
You could come to Arusha National Park for the wildlife – birds are abundant, you’ll almost certainly see giraffe, zebra and buffalo, and perhaps elephant and hippo. But you’ll hardly be able to take your eyes off the scenery – here the Rift Valley is at its most beautiful. Rising above the park, Mt Meru is a volcano drawn from a child’s imagination. And Ngurdoto Crater is one of the most dazzling anywhere in Tanzania – it’s smaller than Ngorongoro, but otherwise is just as impressive.
