Located between iconic national parks and crowned by views of towering volcanoes, West Kilimanjaro is a hidden gem in northern Tanzania. This expansive wilderness is part of the Enduimet Wildlife Management Area (WMA)—a vital conservation corridor connecting Amboseli, Kilimanjaro, Mkomazi, Arusha, and even the Greater Tsavo Ecosystem in Kenya.
The region is known not just for its abundant plains and roaming wildlife, but also for uninterrupted views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru, Ol Doinyo Longido, and Ol Doinyo Orok—a photographer’s dream.
