Empakai to Lake Natron Trek

Your first night will be in a modest fly-camp in the heart of the Rift Valley. Expect simple tents with comfy mattresses, plenty of fresh water and fabulous meals, served by a team of very smiley chefs. At Lake Natron Camp, the walk-in tents are laid out under the shade of trees and covered by a large mesh shade - a very welcome sight in the heat of the day! Each has a private veranda for long evening sundowners and ensuite bathrooms with super eco-friendly compost toilets. There’s also a beautiful mess tent and of course, the campfire, where every evening should be spent in our opinion!

Lace up your hiking boots and let the walking begin! A medium-level of fitness is required for this trip and days one and two are the most strenuous, but there are opportunities for a little R&R too – think cooling swims in gin-clear rock pools and sundowners high in the clouds. Other highlights include morning strolls around Lake Natron, visits to the local villages and even a hike to the top of Ol Donyo Lengai, the Maasai ‘Mountain of God’, if you’re feeling up to it.
