This is how a family of lions looks on a walking safari in Ngorongoro Highlands - don't worry you have maasai guides to protect you!
The Ngorongoro Highlands is a jewel in the Tanzanian crown often completely ignored by the vast majority of visitors to the region who flock to the crater itself.
Under the protection of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority is the archaeological site of Odulvai Gorge, and a large area of tropical highland, peppered with dormant and active volcanoes, the climax of which is the starkly beautiful Ol Doinyo Lengai Crater which has seen recent volcanic activity in 2007 and 2008.
The region offers superb long range trekking in an environment that hosts both human and natural interest. It is a landscape of rolling hill country, deep crater lakes and spectacular volcanic peaks. Treks can run from a few days to full coverage of the reserve over the course of 10 days or more.
Features of our treks include:
- The lake bottomed Empakai Crater with its significant flamingo population, including a long lakeshore hike.
- Naiyobi Maasai Village and Lerai Forest Camp.
- A climb to the summit of Ol Doinyo Lengai itself.
- Lake Natron, a saline lake set in a volcanic landscape and noted for large flamingo population.
On all of our treks you will be accompanied by our walking guide, a park ranger and Maasai warriors to protect you from animals. Donkeys will be carrying your luggage and supplies, and can even assist you if you feel too tired to walk by yourself. Overnight will be in campsites throughout the safari.
