Lunch will be served at Bulati.

Alternative 1: After the lunch you walk from Bulati camp and up to Embakai crater rim. This is a hard walk since it’s up, up, up and it will take like 5 hours. When you reach the top you will have a fantastic view down to the Embakai crater. Dinner and overnight at Embakai special camp a few meters from the rim.

Walking down the Embakai Crater. The descent is 250-300 meters. Then walking from Embakai to Nayobi Village. On the highest point you are about 2600 meters above the sea. Dinner and overnight at Nayobi Village..

After breakfast walking from Nayobi down to the mountain Oldonyo Lengai. The walking will take about 6 hrs. Through Masaai land and acacia forest to open hills and down to dry area by the foot of the Mountain of Good. The views of Great Rift Valley and Lake Natron are fantastic. When you reach the flat land your car will pick you up and drive you to an oasis camp close to a refreshing river. MIDNIGHT: Trekking for Oldonyo Lengai Mountain. It is very steep, like a pyramid.

NOTE: When you are walking in masaai land you will meet many people who will be curios. If you ask polite you might take pictures of them. Some want money for doing it, and some they don’t want at all to be taken picture of. Please respect their culture and ask before taking pictures.
Many women and children will sell you jewelers. This is a golden chance to get real masaai things instead of buying it in a souvenir shop. And you will know that the money stays to those who have made it.

After descent from the trekking you will have your breakfast at the campsite. Resting and/or walking to the waterfalls. To get to the waterfalls you should not be afraid of the water since you have to walk more in the water than by the side of the river. But in the end, the struggle is worth the view. Dinner and overnight at the campsite.

After breakfast you will drive to Lake Natron. This is a strange place with millions of flamingos. And it can be extremely hot and dry. Then drive back to Arusha or Moshi. Picnic lunch on the way back.
