Safari
Unforgettable safaris, alongside expert guides, can be arranged from The Highlands into the Ngorongoro Crater. The vehicles are fitted with power points so that you can keep your cameras charged as you go in search of lion, elephant, hyena and black rhinoceros. Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch on the crater floor, before continuing on your afternoon safari.
Hotel Experiences
The following incredible experiences, among others, can be arranged by The Highlands:
Olmoti Climb
Follow an ancient Maasai cattle trail through the forests as you ascend Olmoti volcano. En route, look out for the many bird and butterfly species that frequent the volcanic slopes. When you reach the top, you will be rewarded with incredible views of the crater deep below.
Empakaai Descent
Accompanied by a ranger, descend into the Empakaai Crater. Once on the crater floor you will visit the soda lake which attracts pink flamingos. Empakaai is a short distance from The Highlands and the hike can be done in just half a day, giving you time to relax in camp or visit a local village.

Visit a local Maasai community in one of the nearby villages. Learn about this fascinating culture and their traditional way of life as you join the herdsmen to bring in their cattle to the boma and visit a local homestead.
