Empakaai Crater, located in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in northern Tanzania, is a stunning volcanic caldera renowned for its natural beauty and biodiversity. Unlike the more famous Ngorongoro Crater, Empakaai is less frequented by tourists, offering a more serene and secluded experience. The crater is about 6 kilometers in diameter, with steep walls that lead down to a beautiful, alkaline lake occupying much of the crater floor. The lake attracts a variety of bird species, including flamingos, and the surrounding forested slopes are home to animals such as buffaloes, bushbucks, and an array of other wildlife.
