Today you will change the environment from temperate grassland to a montane forest zone on the crater rim. Plenty of spectacular panoramic views of the landscape. We packed lunch halfway through the trek. In the afternoon you will descend into the crater where you can see lesser flamingos who reside on the crater soda lake. The Caldera is 300m deep and 6kms wide. The trek is roughly 45 minutes down and an hour’s walk back up. Today we will be camping right on the rim of the Empakaai crater.
