TANZANIA - The Highlands Ngorongoro

Details

The award-winning camp with its eight domed canvas and glass suites is situated on the edge of a forest that skirts Olmoti Volcano. A stunning elevated location and innovative, high-tech suites have made this small and intimate camp a firm favorite for safari travelers to Tanzania. It’s a great base from which to explore the nearby Ngorongoro Crater and you also have the chance to stretch your legs and go hiking or visit the local village for an insight into traditional Maasai life. With only eight tents in camp, you can expect attentive, personalized service and a kitchen that caters to your needs. The camp feels remote, but is within easy reach of Ngorongoro, where guests can go on day-long game drives to spot lions, elephants and giraffes, with a midday picnic break under a shady tree. From camp, hike up to the top of Olmoti for staggering views, or take a half-day trip to the soda lake in Empakaai Crater, where thousands of pink flamingos congregate. Guests can also interact with the local community, learning about Maasai culture and walk the cattle back to the boma at the end of the day.
