All involve visiting the Ngorongoro Crater where we drive across the
Crater, with time for game viewing, to reach Nainokanoka, a tiny Maasai
village lying just below Olmoti Crater in the heart of the Crater
Highlands. From here we walk across the Embulbul depression to Bulati on
the edge of the Empaakai Crater. This is where the main trek to Lake
Natron starts. This takes 2 to 3 days, on the last day we drop down to
the hot Rift Valley floor and drive to the Ngare Sero river where there
is a very pleasant campsite.
