Momella lakes

There about seven Lakes in Arusha national park but most common is the big momella and the second largest called small momella lake.  Here is where you can see different birds and the most beautiful bird that I like to see them here is lesser Flamingo. Apart from that there are so many water birds like Cormorants and Ducks.

Activities.

1.Walking safaris

Walking safari is done under the escort of armed ranger and it is safe, here is the only place where you can get close to Cape Buffalo and other animal while enjoying the spectacular view of Mt Meru and sometimes you might see Mt. Kilimanjaro. Also there are waterfalls in this park and if you want to enjoy the place you have to do walking safari and hear the voice of water from a distance as well as spending sometimes there.

2.Game drive

 This is normal one which is very common in every park.

3.Canoeing safaris

Canoeing safaris is done in the small momella lake and its amazing because there is a lot of animals in the water and have never been disturbed by vehicles and also they want to live in a cool place where there is no noise, so the only way of discovering this is doing a canoeing safari.

4.Meru Hiking.

 Hiking Meru take 4 days 3 nights but if you are fit enough you can make it in 2 nights and three days. myself I made it in 1 night 2 days. it's one of the great adventure in my life.
