Empakai Crater Camp

Empakaai Crater Campsite is set on the forested rim of the remote Empakaai Crater in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, overlooking a soda lake known for its flamingos. It is a basic wilderness site with grass pitches and simple park outhouses, with no facilities beyond these, and a private trekking crew sets up and runs a mobile camp kitchen. The dense rim forest has leopard and buffalo activity, so an armed ranger escort is required after dark.

About Empakai Crater Camp

Empakai Crater Camp sits on the forested rim of the remote Empakaai Crater in the Ngorongoro highlands, overlooking a soda lake known for its flamingos. It is a striking stop on Crater Highlands walking treks.

The site is a basic wilderness camp with grass pitches and simple park outhouses, and no facilities beyond these. The setting is remote and primitive, with comfort provided entirely by the trekking crew’s equipment.

A private crew sets up and runs a mobile camp kitchen. Because the rim forest has leopard and buffalo activity, an armed ranger escort is required after dark – an honest safety point to note.
