The crater is home to a variety of wildlife, including elephants, buffalos, baboons, and warthogs, and visitors can enjoy a game drive around the rim of the crater for a chance to see these animals in their natural habitat.
Another popular attraction in Arusha National Park is Mount Meru, which is the second-highest mountain in Tanzania after Mount Kilimanjaro. The mountain is located within the park’s borders and is a popular hiking destination for visitors.
