If you’ve seen Ngorongoro from a safari vehicle, wait until you experience it on foot.
The Ngorongoro Rim Walk offers a completely different perspective of this natural wonder – quieter, more personal, and incredibly scenic. With Africa Sights Safaris, you’ll explore this breathtaking landscape alongside a knowledgeable local guide, surrounded by nature, stories, and views that stretch to the horizon.
- What to Expect on the Ngorongoro Rim Walk:
A Peaceful Hike with Spectacular Views
Walk along the rim of the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact volcanic caldera on Earth. The air is fresh, the landscape is green and open, and the views down into the crater are absolutely jaw-dropping.
- Learn from a Local Maasai Guide
You’ll be joined by a local Maasai guide, who shares insights into the land, wildlife, and Maasai traditions. This is a rare chance to connect deeply with both nature and culture at the same time.
- See Wildlife and Birds Up Close
While walking, keep your eyes open – you might spot buffalo, zebras, or even elephants grazing along the rim. The area is also home to beautiful birds, butterflies, and unique plant life.
- Visit Small Maasai Settlements
Depending on your route, you may pass by or visit small Maasai bomas (homesteads) along the way, offering a glimpse into their daily life and strong bond with the land.
- Great for Photography and Reflection
With fewer crowds and the wide, open space, the rim walk offers perfect opportunities for quiet reflection, incredible landscape photography, and simply soaking in the beauty of one of Africa’s most iconic places.
