This walking safari trip to Ngorongoro will leave you speechless. It takes you to one of the largest volcanic calderas on Earth, which is also home to one of the densest populations of wildlife in the world.

The walking safari in Oldonyo Lengai will expose you to a beautiful crater that exists in the Ngorongoro Highlands and it's only a half-day drive away from the Ngorongoro Crater but seldom visited. This caldera is six kilometers wide with nearly half of its floor occupied by lake, and its slopes covered by a thick forest.

The scenery is spectacular from every point along the rim; from the northern and eastern side you can look out to the dramatic volcano of Oldonyo Lengai, the Great Rift Valley and Lake Natron; from the south and west you can see across the Bulbul Depression. Sometimes you can even see the distant snows of Mount Kilimanjaro far to the northeast. We will be camping on the rim as the view of Lengai and the Rift Valley makes for great photos. Camping and hiking into the crater are done with an armed ranger.

We will pass through numerous Maasai villages and small herds of gazelle, wildebeest and dark-toned zebra in a setting, we’ve been told, that resembles the Scottish Highlands.

On the way to Empakaai is another seldom visited crater called Olmot. There is a very pleasant hike from the Nainokanoka ranger post through the forest up to the top of the waterfall, which passes through this crater.

Please refer to the itinerary section for day-by-day activities.
