Arusha National Park

Two Saturday’s ago Kelvin invited us to go to Arusha National Park with him. It sits right on the outskirts of Arusha in the Usa area. It was amazing and all we had to do was pay $35 to spend the day in the park. We drove our own car through with Kelvin as our guide. He works for Tanzanian National Parks as a guide and I swear he knows everything about everything. The park is very large and has multiple lakes, a crater, and sits in between Mt. Meru and Mt. Kilimanjaro. Driving through the park we could look out our windows and see both mountains at the same time. Some of the park was lush jungle and the other part was desert. There are also no lions in the park so you are able to do a walking safari but we did not have time and my infected Massai burns on my foot were a tad bit hindering. There are waterfalls in the park. Also, to start the climb for Mt. Meru, you start in this park. It was a great day and Amanda even drove the car for about 10 minutes! Scary, I know. :)
