Formed by the colossal explosion and collapse of a large volcano two to three million years ago, the crater presents a breathtaking landscape.

The descent into the crater is an adventure in itself, and once on the crater floor, you'll be surrounded by abundant wildlife, including wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and over 500 bird species. The crater offers an excellent chance to spot the endangered black rhino, which occasionally roams the open grasslands.

The park is named after its shallow salt lake, which covers a substantial area, fluctuating in size with the changing seasons. This lake is home to a multitude of wading birds, including flamingos and more than 500 other bird species.

Within the park's thick evergreen forest, you may encounter baboons and elephants, while keeping a lookout for the renowned tree-climbing lions that have gained fame across Africa. After a full day exploring the park, you'll take a short drive to your accommodation in arusha city.
