  • An early start today, setting off after breakfast at sunrise, continuing your walk around the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, taking in some spectacular and unspoiled views of this iconic dormant volcano.
  • The early mornings here are particularly special, watching as the mist burns away, and the warmth of the sun arrives – we recommend keeping your camera handy today!
  • The terrain varies as you walk, from acacia woodland to highland montane forest.
  • You will walk through a traditional Maasai village, stopping with your guide to meet some of the local people and learning a little about Maasai life and culture, before you continue your walk.
  • Camp in a new spot in the acacia forest, enjoying a well-earned siesta in the afternoon when you arrive, and dinner cooked over the campfire.
