Mount Meru
At over 4500 meters, this dormant volcano is the fifth highest mountain in Africa and the second highest in Tanzania. It is the topographic centerpiece of the Arusha National Park, and the rich fertile mountain supports a wide variety of post-ice-age flora and fauna. It is a hiking delight and can prepare tourists for the Mount Kilimanjaro climb. Unlike Kilimanjaro, it is visible all year round and is easier to climb than its juggernaut counterpart.
The Momella lakes
Momella lakes are a series of seven shallow lakes within the National park; these are El Kekhotoito, Rishateni, Tulusia, Lekandiro, Kusare, Small Momella, and Big Momella. The presence of algae gives them all their characteristic blue and green looks. Tourists can go on a canoeing Safari on Small Momella and catch a glimpse of exotic birds and dazzling water life
Tulusia Hill
This historical hill was once a lookout spot during the Tanzanian tribal wars of years past. The area around it is heavily forested and a home to many of East Africa’s wildlife fauna including the mischievous White Colobus monkey,
Ngurdoto crater
Stretching about 3km across, the crater is steep-sided and surrounded by dense forestation, the crater floor, however, is a swamp and is home to many of Africa’s Safari animals. Due to the nature of the surroundings, it is prohibited to get to the bottom of the crater, but tourists can still enjoy the panoramic view overhead.
