About Crater Highlands

The Crater Highlands of northern Tanzania form one of Africa's most dramatic volcanic landscapes, a chain of ancient calderas, craters, and escarpments rising above the Rift Valley floor between Lake Natron and Ngorongoro. The region encompasses Ol Doinyo Lengai — Africa's only active carbonatite volcano — alongside the flamingo-studded soda lake of Natron, the forested Empakai Crater, and high-altitude moorlands inhabited by Maasai pastoralists. Walking safaris and fly-camping in these remote highlands represent some of Tanzania's most exclusive and adventurous experiences.
