Observation Hill
Noomotio Observation Point
The only small hill in the park's centre where you may get out and walk, overlooking the Enkongo Narok swamp and its elephant herds, with Kilimanjaro in view on clear days.
Observation Hill (Noomotio in Maa) is a low volcanic cone in the middle of the park. A stone-step path leads to the top, where the viewing platform is reached in 5-10 minutes. Below lies the Enkongo Narok swamp, where you can see elephants, hippos and buffalo feeding in the water, and in the distance the snowy summit of Kilimanjaro. The top has a picnic area and toilets, making it the place to stretch your legs and have lunch during a game drive. Stay within the viewing area and do not leave the path.
