Arusha National Park is one of the smaller national parks in the Northern circuit and is located at the foot of Mount Meru in Arusha. This beautiful park is mostly known for the rare black and white colobus monkey that is often seen here. It is an amazingly gracious animal to see swirling between the trees with its long arms and long black and white fur.

The park consists of mountainous areas as well as rainforests and lakes. It is a paradise for bird watchers since you can find many tropical species here that are rarely seen anywhere else. Examples are the greater flamingo and the silvery-cheeked hornbill. At the end of the day, return to Africa Safari Arusha.

Day 6

Ngorongoro Rim/ Game Drive Ndutu Area

Ngorongoro Rim/ Game Drive Ndutu Area

The southeastern part of the Serengeti, known as the Ndutu area, boasts abundant wildlife throughout the year. Wildlife numbers peak between December and April, as large herds of wildebeests and zebras are drawn to the area by the seasonal rains. Most calves are born in January and February, around 8,000 per day. The short grass plains offer them relative safety, as predators are more easily spotted. Nevertheless, as happens in nature, these young wildebeest attract many hungry predators, such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. Other species, such as gazelles and zebras, also give birth, using the wildebeest calves as a diversion from their own young. Additionally, the area is a haven for birdwatchers. The thorny tree forests are the habitat of various birds, and if you pay attention, you may see the brilliantly coloured Fischer's lovebird.
