After your breakfast in the hotel around 8.00am you will leave to Arusha National Park, and its 40 minute drive from Arusha town. The park has an incredible variety of fauna and flora, which cannot fail to impress. The entrance gate leads into shadowy montane forest inhabited by inquisitive blue monkeys and colorful turacos and trogons – the only place on the northern safari circuit where the acrobatic black-and-white colobus monkey is easily seen. In the midst of the forest stands the spectacular Ngurdoto Crater, whose steep rocky cliffs enclose a wide marshy floor dotted with herds of buffalo and warthog.
