Mkuru Camel Safari

Welcome to the camel camp at Mkuru, where you can make camel safaris to the plains between  Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru and Lake Natron, and enjoy the friendly behaviour of the "ship of the desert".  Mkuru is situated on the North side of Mount Meru, not far away from the irrigated fields of Engare-Nanyookye and the Momela gate of Arusha National Park. From a distance the area can be easily recognised through the remarkable shape of Ol Doinyo Landaree, the little mountain that looks like a pyramid.
