Day 2: Walking Safari expand_more
- Wake before sunrise for an early breakfast and set off on foot around one of the cattle trails that leads around the edge of the Olmoti Crater. It is possible to drive a short section of this if you would prefer a less strenuous day (please advise at the point of booking).
- Once you have rounded the crater, you will walk through the rolling grassy plains broken up by small Maasai villages and herdsmen with their iconic red shukas wrapped around their shoulders to keep away the cold in the early mornings.
Overnight and dinner at the hotel.

Day 3: Cultural Visit expand_more
- It is an early start to the day, setting off after breakfast at sunrise, continuing your walk around the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and taking in some spectacular and unspoilt 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. 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 learn a little about Maasai life and culture before you continue your walk.
Overnight and dinner at the hotel.
