A tour visit to Empakai and Olmoti Crater in Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a journey into some of the most stunning and lesser-explored volcanic landscapes in East Africa. Empakai Crater, a smaller but equally breathtaking counterpart to the famous Ngorongoro Crater, is a deep caldera filled with a shimmering alkaline lake surrounded by lush green walls. The hike down into the crater is a rewarding experience, offering panoramic views of the lake and the chance to spot flamingos, buffaloes, and other wildlife that inhabit the area. The serene atmosphere and vibrant colors of the crater makes it a photographer’s paradise and a peaceful retreat for nature lovers
