Safari to Arusha National Park in northern Tanzania

20 August 2013 

The first stage of this safari in Tanzania is at Arusha National Park, a small area not far from the homonymous city and from the International Airport of Kilimanjaro. Arusha National Park is home to many giraffes, zebras, buffalo and other animals typical of the savannah, and is one of the few places in Tanzania (if not the only one) where you can see the white monkeys belonging to the genus Colobus.

The visit to Arusha National Park starts between small herds of zebras and buffalo grazing peacefully among the lush green grass made possible ​​by a climate more clement when compared to the rest of northern Tanzania.
