Olmoti Crater | Fair Voyage

OUR TOP PICKS FOR YOU IN 2024 – LOVED BY FAIR VOYAGE TRAVELERS

Olmoti Crater is one of three volcanic craters in the Ngorongoro Highlands. Though less dramatic than Ngorongoro Crater and Empakaai Crater, Olmoti is ideally suited for walking safaris off-the-beaten track. Its caldera floor is covered with grassy plants that attract grazing wildlife such as reedbuck, eland, buffalo and bushbuck. Next to abundant birdlife and diverse plants, the so-called Munge waterfalls, a water cascade that falls hundreds of meters down into a steep ravine to form Munge River, are another attraction in Olmoti Crater. Walking tours to the crater rim usually take around 3 hours and are accompanied by an armed ranger. Longer full-day hiking tours through the crater rim are also available.
