Mount Meru a dormant volcano, located in the Arusha National Park. It is an extremely volatile mountain, with its first eruption 1.5 million years ago, blowing out close to a third of its circumference.

The last eruption was in 1910.  It stands at a height of 14,968 feet, making it the fifth highest mountain in Africa. The mountain has several craters and cones, evidence of its volcanic activity. The most prominent caldera is 2.2 meters wide and the the Ngurdoto Crater is 3.6 kilometers wide.

Lake Manyara is the seventh largest lake in Tanzania and has been named a National Park.  This alkaline lake covers 230 square kilometers.

The vast size of this lake attracts a high number of aquatic birds including pelicans, Egyptian geese, storks, spoonbills and many more.

Empakaai Crater is a collapsed volcanic caldera, sitting on the edge of the Rift escarpment, its walls rise 300 meters above the caldera floor and has a width of 6 kilometers.

The Crater is filled with a deep alkaline lake which occupies about 75% of the Crater’s floor and is about 85 meters deep. The Crater is rich in vegetation with dense forests covering its sides, from the rim of the crater you will find extensive views of Lake Natron and Ol Donyo Lengai.

It is home to the Bearded Vulture, the Augur Buzzard, Blue Monkey, Bushbuck, Waterbuck and Buffalo.

 

On the southern end of Lake Natron stands the conical mountain of Ol Doinyo Lengai – the “Mountain of God” in Maasai. The only active volcano on the Eastern Rift. It is the coolest volcano in the world, being the only known volcano to erupt natrocarbonatite (sodium-rich) lava, which is half the temperature of typical glowing basaltic lava.

Its lava fountains harden midair, then shatter like glass.
