Enduimet Wildlife Management Area is a stunning region located to the west of Kilimanjaro that is often overlooked by many travelers. This hidden gem is situated between Amboseli National Park in Kenya and Kilimanjaro National Park, and it serves as a crucial corridor for large herds of elephants that move between the two parks. Besides elephants, the area is also home to giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, gazelles, impalas, leopards, and occasionally lions and cheetahs. The Maasai people, along with their herds, live in harmony with the wildlife here. Sustainable tourism is encouraged, and the revenue generated benefits both the wildlife and the local communities.

Ecologically, it acts as a connection between the Mkomazi National Park, Arusha, and Kilimanjaro National Parks, and the Tsavo ecosystem.

Because Enduimet Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is so close to Kenya, you can easily pay a visit to the official border between Tanzania and Kenya. The border is marked by concrete blocks on the edge of Enduimet.

West Kilimanjaro is an excellent destination for those seeking an off-the-beaten-track adventure. You can experience the thrill of a foot, bike, or motorcycle safari here, with the expert guidance of a Maasai warrior or ranger. For those looking for a unique experience, you can also opt for a night safari, where you may be able to see many animals that are hidden during the day
