Situated
on the north side of Mount Meru, not far from the irrigated fields of
Ngarenanyuki and the Momela gate of Arusha National Park, Mkuru Camel Camp is
easily recognizable from a distance because of the pyramid shaped Ol Doinyo
Landaree Mountain. A Maasai dominated region, there are traditional bomas
scattered throughout and one gets to see the Maasai way of life. The area
around the camp is alive with birds and small mammals, and zebra and giraffe in
the plains to the north, which is also a corridor for elephants.
The
following is on offer:
*
Baboon cave safari
