Arusha is surrounded by some of Africa's most famous sights, such as Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Meru, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Olduvai Gorge and Arusha's very own Arusha National Park.

The Serengeti National Parks claim to fame is not only the annual migration of white bearded wildebeest and zebra, but also it is regarded as the best wildlife reserve in Africa due to its density of predators and prey.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area consists of a large volcanic caldera, namely the Ngorongoro Crater. This massive crater is home to over 250 000 large animals, making it an attraction not to be missed.
