7 Days Walking in Ngorongoro,Empakai
Crater and Lake Natron
Northern Tanzania itinerary
for the fit and sportive person who wants to get off the classic safari route
and appreciate the beauty of landscape and wildlife joined with some cultural
interaction of different tribes.Walking the Highlands of Ngorongoro Conservation
area and the Empakai crater, the plains of Salei, down the Rift valley escarpment
and up an active volcano makes this safari a complete African experience. The
trek up Lengai is quite strenuous but an alternative walk to waterfalls can be
arranged for those not wanting to attempt it.
A small day pack with camera,
sun cream and water bottle is all you are expected to carry.
