6-Day Lake Natron & Ngorongoro Cultural Safari

From $1,850 PP

The wild Rift Valley, beyond the safari crowds

A quieter, more adventurous six days in the shadow of the Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano. Spend two nights at Lake Natron — a soda lake ringed by flamingos, with waterfall hikes and Maasai country all around — add a cultural morning in Mto wa Mbu village, and finish on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater. A route for travellers who want landscape and culture alongside the wildlife, in your choice of mid-range or luxury camps.
