Scale to New Heights
Trace an ancient Maasai livestock path across grasslands, rocky outcrops, and mountain woods. See wildlife such as butterflies and birds when hiking to Olmoti Crater. You will be rewarded with an amazing view of the crater below when you reach the summit.
Another amazing hike is to the Empakaai Crater and the soda lake, which is home to pink flamingos that gather there and tint the surrounding shoreline pink. The Highlands is the only facility in this area that can provide a convenient half-day excursion because of its position.
