The Olmoti Crater

Tour Details

Olmoti Craters’s floor is shallow and covered with tussocks of grass. Besides the Maasai and their livestock you can sometimes see eland, buffalo and reedbuck.

The Munge River origins from the waters from the Crater walls, cross the caldera, and plummets down over cliffs, falling some hundreds of meters into the steep-sided ravine below.

Returning from Olmoti you can see the depression that is formed where the slopes of Olmoti, Empakaai, Lolmalasin, and Losirua volcanoes join with the outer rim of Ngorongoro. this shallow, grassy basin is called the Embulbul depression.

Like the similar Malanja depression to the west, it probably collects and provides a sink for a good deal of water that appears lower down at the foot of the mountains.
