Arusha National Park covers Mount Meru, a prominent volcano with an elevation of 4566 m, in the Arusha Region of north eastern Tanzania. The park is small but varied with spectacular landscapes in three distinct areas. In the west, the Meru Crater funnels the Jekukumia River; the peak of Mount Meru lies on its rim.
Arusha National Park is one of Tanzania's most accessible national parks. This makes it a convenient getaway for a savanna day trip either at the beginning or the end of one's broader safari itinerary. At just 552 square kilometres, there's no doubt that Arusha National Park is a small but adventure-laden wildlife paradise.
