Mount Meru
3 hours
Between Momella and Ngabobo, on the north side of Mount Meru, lies the village of Mukuru. A small, pyramid--shaped hill at the foothills of Mount Meru is the landmark of the area. This hill, Ol Doinyo Landaree or Mount Mukuru is still used by the Maasai for religious purposes. It's height is about 2.100 metres, next to Mount Meru. Birdlife is abundant, giraffes feed from fine acacia leaves and zebras share the pasture with the locals' cattle. A place of peace and contemplation.
