Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Ngorongoro Crater – On the Crater Rim
Tented camps blend into nature, becoming part of the environment. Their greatest advantage is their flexibility. Location isn’t restricted by practical matters and their relatively small size makes it possible to pitch almost anywhere – like in the middle of the great wildebeest migration. Your first camp has the most enviable of locations, perched on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater rim. You look out on one of Africa’s most famous vistas; then get interrupted by a marauding elephant bull or zebra herd. Wildlife doesn’t just occupy the crater floor, it moves seamlessly between the grasslands around the rim and the water on the crater floor. At the Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp, you’ll wake to the sound of grazing antelopes, and you’ll drift off to Nature’s orchestra.
Your international flight lands at Kilimanjaro International, where you’re greeted by a representative and assisted with the transfer to light aircraft. Soar across Tanzania and touch down just a few miles from the crater rim, at an airstrip inside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This isn’t typical camping. En-suite bathrooms have hot showers, spacious tents have hairdryers and plug points, while comfortable sofas are ideally situated for enjoying the view. Think of it as a luxury hotel, just with canvas walls that bring all the sounds of the wild. The afternoon and evening is at your leisure and you can expect to encounter plenty of wildlife around the camp.
