Itinerary

Day 2

Nainokanoka – Bulati In the early morning, a Masai guide will arrive with his donkeys. Loading the donkeys, the journey begins, and you will pass many traditional Masai bomas and cattle herds. Soon, you might also see wild animals such as Thompson's and Grant’s gazelles, zebras, and wildebeests with hungry jackals not far behind and majestic eagles observing the situation. After approximately 16 km of hiking, you will reach a campsite not far from the Masai village of Bulati.

Day 3

Bulati to Empakai — A Journey Through Volcanoes, Craters & Flamingo-Filled Lakes The third day of your trek promises to be one of the most visually dramatic and rewarding stages of the entire journey, offering a magnificent combination of sweeping panoramic landscapes, active volcanic scenery, and one of East Africa's most enchanting natural wonders. The day begins with a hearty breakfast at camp before setting off on the morning's ascent.

Day 4

Day 4: Empakai Crater – Acacia Camp Today you will hike to the Masai village Naiyobi and following a good path, the village as well as Oldonyo Lengai, an active volcano, can be seen from a distance. After lunch in Naiyobi, the trek leaves the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the landscape becomes drier and warmer. Tonight’s camp will be set up amongst an acacia forest.
