Topographical map of the Crater Highlands, looking from the north to the southwest. Gelai is to the right

The Gelai Volcano stands at 9,652ft (2,942m) tall and is located in Tanzania in the Crater Highlands region. It is at the southeastern edge of Lake Natron in Africa's Great Rift Valley. The volcano falls within a game-controlled area that extends east to Longido, where hunting is permitted. This has caused a drop in the numbers of animals in the area.
