National park of Arusha
The National park of Arusha in Tanzania covers the Mont Méru, a volcano culminating with 4566 meters in the area of Arusha, in the north of the country. Of a surface of 137 km, it is about the smallest national park of Tanzania.
The park is divided into three zones. In the west, the crater of Méru embraces the Jekukumia river. In south-east, the Cratère Ngurdoto is covered with pastures. The Lacs Momella in the North-East accommodate many species of limicolous birds. The Kilimanjaro, to 60 km in the North-East of the park, is visible in clear weather.
The park was successively named National park of the crater Ngurdoto in 1960, then National park of the mount Meru before receiving its current name in 1967.
Fauna
Inter alia species, the park shelters elephants, Girafe S, Buffle S, Zèbre S, Phacochère S, colobes guéréza, cercopithèque with diadem, pink flamingos. One does not find there a Lion S.
