NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA

While the Ngorongoro Crater is the single most visited site, the rest of the NCA offers many rewards for those visitors prepared to explore further afield.
Olmoti Crater is at 3,700 metres but the crater itself is relatively shallow and home to many grazing animals. Water flows across the floor where it pours through a small but spectacular cleft on the south side. It is a favourite route for foot safaris.
Viewing the bubbling floor of Oldonyo Lengai Crater from the edge of the ash cone on the summit, is the ultimate reward for those who climb the mountain.
Empakaai Crater, 300 meters deep and six kms wide, is dominated by a soda lake which occupies nearly half the floor. It supports a variety of unique water- bird life. All this and supurb views can be enjoyed along the 32 km rim walk.
