A superb holiday tailored for those who want to see the best of northern Tanzania, but with more time to...
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area, covers an extensive 8300 sq km, with the celebrated natural wonder, the Ngorongoro Crater, at its centre. The Crater is one of Tanzania’s most visited destinations offering a dramatic landscape and Africa’s densest population of large mammals. It is a real wildlife showpiece where you can see all the big game.
Much of the region is inhabited by the Maasai people alongside an impressive range of wildlife. Apart from excellent game viewing there are some wonderful walking opportunities offering genuine cultural interaction with the tribal people.
Away from the Crater there are some wonderful, less publicised, natural features such as Olduvai Gorge and Lake Ndutu to the west, Lake Eyasi to the south, and Empakia and Olmoti craters to the east offering stunning views of Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano.
There is a real mix of accommodation within the Ngorongoro region so it is important to make the right choice or you could be very disappointed.

Serengeti was extraordinary, in particular the south but also the central part, and we’re glad to have visited Ngorongoro as well. Good service and excellent food. All flights and pickups worked perfectly. Thank you so much for preparing our trip.
Thank you very much for arranging such an incredible honeymoon for us. Thanks to your organisation and our amazing guide Yunus, we were able to see all we could wish for and more on safari, and then were able to relax and enjoy the stunning beauty and hospitality of Pongwe Beach.
The trip was amazing!! We both thought Naona Moru camp was incredible. There were elephants right near the camp. We were so well looked after and the service was great. We even had a picnic with a sunset view organised by the camp.
Out of the safari, we liked most Tarangire and Lake Manyara. These places had animals literally everywhere (including many sightings of lions from close up, and a leopard) and offered a lovely contrasting ambience between the dry safari of Tarangire and the green lush of the lake.
