A rather scenic destination awaits when in and around Arusha, with numerous safari destinations close by waiting to be explored and these include; Mt. Meru, Ngurdoto Crater (little Ngorongoro), Arusha National Park, the Momella Lakes and for some wildlife photography, those Black and white Colobus monkeys make for a great start to a safari in Tanzania.

Arusha and surrounding areas are all within an easy days drive of Northern Tanzania's famed East Africa National Parks, including; Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Olduvai Gorge, Tarangire National Park and Mount Kilimanjaro.
