A small yet very diverse park. After arrival in Tanzania definitely worth starting the safari adventure. Dominantly present is the volcanic Mount Meru (height 4566m). With only 137km2 small, yet there are many different animals. Zebras, buffalo, antelope and even lions and with a bit of luck leopards. Real eye-catchers are the many giraffes, which together with the landscape provide beautiful photogenic pictures. The black and white colobus monkeys can be seen especially in this park. The landscape is diverse. The Ngurdoto crater, also called small Ngorongoro is surrounded by forests, in the lower areas are the Momella lakes surrounded by the savanna.
There are various activities in the park, such as canoeing, walking safari and climbing Mount Meru.
