Arusha National Park is divided into three, distinct districts: Mount Meru, Momella Lakes, and the Ngurdoto Crater. Firstly is Mount Meru, a perfectly-shaped volcanic cone sporting a majestic crater that dominates the park. This spectacular mountain is located in the centre of the park, near the town of Arusha. Next, as you head east of Mount Meru, you’ll find the Momella Lakes, a series of small, alkaline lakes that attract migrating water birds. Finally, South of the Momella Lakes is the fascinating Ngurdoto Crater, also known as ‘little Ngorongoro’ thanks to its plethora of wildlife. These three areas form a lopsided triangle that is just waiting to be explored!
