For those who love
the outdoor-world and would like the experience of trekking.
Our more popular
trekking destinations are: Kilimanjaro, Meru, Arusha National Park,
Lake Eyasi, Olmoti Crater, Empakaai Crater and Lake Natron... where
a variety of flora and fauna and beautiful sceneries as well as
different tribes can be visited.
These can be done in
combination with a regular safari. Giving one a break from the
long-hours driving on those ever bumpy roads!! We have no specific
programmes for these, we always tailor-make them!! |
| NGORONGORO
HIGHLANDS: |
| EMPAKAAI
CRATER
North-East of
the Ngorongoro Crater lies the Empakaai Crater. Empakaai is
about 6000m wide and 300m high. Among other animals, you will
see buffalo, bushbuck, a variety of antelope and blue monkeys.
Birds are in abundance. A deep soda lake covers a large part
of the crater floor. There is a track to the crater-floor and
one around the rim of the crater. On a nice, clear day, one
can see Mt. Oldonyo Lengai, Lake Natron and Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The scenery is left to your imagination!! |

Nainokanoka village, also Northeast of the Ngorongoro
