    Ngorongoro Highland Treks

    There are some wonderful opportunities for trekking in the Ngorongoro Crater Highlands region - from an hour or two to many days. Many of the treks are arranged in cooperation with local Maasai communities, and often guided by Maasai, with their donkeys being used to carry the baggage.

    These are tailored to suit your needs and can be included in a traditional safari holiday too.  Hiking up the rift valley to Mount Makorot is a popular and very scenic option where you can include a visit to the Hadzabe people at Lake Eyasi.  Or stay at Empakai Crater which is remote and beautiful - a botanical dream and full of flamingos at the bottom too! 

    The combinations are endless so ask us for a quote to suit your requirements.  hiking trips of several days do involve camping, often at quite high altitude and can be cold at night, these hikes involve a good level of general fitness.

    Pricing guidelines for Tanzania

    • Open Panel 

    We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

    International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Tanzania can combine easily with other East African countries.

    For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
