Official Rating

‘Sweeping Views; Authentic Camp’

Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp is situated on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, within close proximity to an access road leading onto the crater floor. The crater is full of animals such as wildebeests, buffalos, zebras, elephants, lions and cheetahs; waiting to be discovered through game drives led by highly qualified guides in customised open 4x4 vehicles. Drives are carried out in either the early morning or late afternoon, with each including a packed meal to be enjoyed in the middle of the bush. Other activities include a local village visit where guests can learn about the Maasai culture. Shared tents at the camp include a lounge with bar and a dining area, whilst alternatively guests can dine at one of the individual tables placed around scenic viewpoints. 10 tents are featured at the camp and provide an authentic safari experience.
