This challenging trek has it all: wild, remote African scenery, amazing wildlife and the fascinating culture of the Masai!

We trek through the Crater Highland and Rift Valley landscapes of Tanzania, witnessing the traditional Masai way of life as the tribesmen tend their cattle in this spectacular region, most of which is a conservation area.

The scenery is magnificent, with rolling green grasslands and acacia forests surrounded by jagged volcanic peaks. We trek to the summit of Empakaai Crater and explore its crater lake, home to many birds. A safari in Lake Manyara National Park celebrates our achievement, where we can see wildlife such as lion, zebra, giraffe and elephant.
