Empakai Camp is located right on the edge of Empakai Crater, with spectacular views looking into the crater. It is a truly special and unique location and a great spot for bird watching. It is also the starting point for The Great Rift Valley Trek (Empakai to Natron).
Twin tents. Beds are cosy and comfortable, with duvets and mattress, and can be made into double bed. Each tent has an outside toilet and shower unit (private per tent). This is a lightweight trekking camp, not a luxury safari tent.
