Morning game drive in Tarangire National Park – then drive to Lake
Eyasi to the Hadzabe Bushmen land. Their language resembles the
click languages of other bushmen further south in the Kalahari. They
live entirely off the bush and from hunting, generally small
antelopes and baboons, although in rainy seasons gazelles and
antelopes come down from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to their
then lush bush lands offering them richer pickings. Dinner and
overnight at Lake Eyasi Bush Campsite

how they are living and go hunting with them. After lunch leave
Eyasi and drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area, one of the natural
wonders of the world. Dinner and overnight at Simba Campsite

world's largest "caldera". Dominated by cliffs standing some 600
meters high and presenting a sheer drop down to a wide open space of
some 246 square km, and you may see all the “big five” from elephant
to lion, and if you’re lucky, the near-extinct black rhino, all
amongst large herds of zebra and wildebeest. Leave the crater and
drive to Nainokanoka Special Campsite for dinner and overnight
Day 5 – trek to Empakaai (Crater highland)
Morning short trek at Olmoti, although not as spectacular as
Ngorongoro, the extinct craters of Olmoti and Empakaai to the
North-east are worth a visit for their scenic beauty and sense of
solitude. They are not on the regular tourist trail. After a short
walk at Olmoti, driven to the trekking starting point and trek to
Empakaai (Masai rush out of their traditional homes to greet
trekkers as they pass by). This day the trek can be walked (32 km,
20 miles), with spectacular views along the entire trek. The walk
begins outside of Nainokanoka village, gradually ascending though
silent stands of Nuxia, figs, crotons, and the high-altitude Hagenia
abyssinica. When skies are clear there are views of the still active
volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai to the north, Lake Natron, and even
Kilimanjaro far to the east. From the eastern section of the rim a
path leads to the crater floor through woodland where sunbirds feed
from bright flowers. Dinner and overnight at Empakaai Special
Campsite
Day 6
After a leisure breakfast, trek down to the sunken Empakaai crater,
thickly forested walls plunge to a crater floor shared by a 259-foot
deep lake and virgin grasslands. The armed ranger will be
companioning you down to the floor & to hike back to the crater rim,
which is heavily grazed by buffalo. Around noon drive back to
Arusha.
