Covering approximately 137 square kilometers, the park features a mix of montane forest, savannah, and dramatic highland scenery, including the iconic Mount Meru, which stands at 4,566 meters. The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including giraffes, buffalo, elephants, and several primate species, such as the blue monkey and the black-and-white colobus monkey.
Arusha National Park is particularly famous for its rich birdlife, with over 400 species recorded, making it a exceptional destination for birdwatchers.
