Bird-life in the forest is prolific, with many forest species more easily seen here.
Though very accessible, Arusha NP isn't on many safari itineraries. This is mainly because it doesn't offer a chance of seeing the Big 5. It has a range of habitats including forest home to the black-and-white colobus monkey and is excellent for birding. We will drive back to Arusha.
