A compact park on the slopes of Mount Meru — perfect for a first-day safari with colobus monkeys, Kilimanjaro views, and canoeing on Momella Lakes.
June to October for clear Kilimanjaro views. Year-round for forest wildlife. Morning visits are best for mountain views before clouds build.
Park fees $53/adult/day. Often a half-day excursion from Arusha. Canoeing and walking safaris available at modest extra cost.
Just 30 minutes from Arusha city centre — the closest national park to the safari capital. Perfect for a first-day or last-day activity.
