Prime Location for Early Game Drives

Situated on the Eastern rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, near Crater Lodge, our camp is inside the park boundaries, allowing for early morning game drives—giving you the chance to explore the crater before the crowds arrive.

Ngorongoro is home to over 25,000 animals, including the elusive 23 Black Rhinos. It is one of the only places in the world where you may witness these magnificent creatures in the wild.

🚫 No Giraffes? The Maasai Giraffes cannot navigate the crater’s steep slopes, making them a rare sight in this area.

For a cultural experience, visit a Maasai Boma just a few kilometers away to meet the local Maasai people and learn about their traditional way of life.

Guest Testimonials

🌟 “We had a lovely time meeting fellow travelers over pre-dinner drinks, enjoying great food, and sleeping in comfy beds with hot water bottles. Returning from a fantastic crater tour where we saw baby elephants, zebras, warthogs, and monkeys, our kids were thrilled to discover a herd of 50 elephants right beyond our tent. We watched them—including the babies—until local cattle herders guided them away. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. A fantastic introduction to Africa!”

A truly unforgettable experience My husband and I went on the 6-day private honeymoon safari with hot air balloon, guided by Peter. Peter was a fantastic, knowledgeable (in wildlife matters and sharing his culture), welcoming and great guide - ensuring that we had every opportunity to see the animals, especially the big 5! It was our first safari (and who knows when we will have to opportunity to do this again), but the experience was truly unforgettable. Every accommodation made us feel welcomed, comfortable and safe. We went during low season so the parks were a little bit more calm, and the lodges were less busy - but that did not detract from the wonderful experience. Serengeti African Tours were exceptionally professional and we have no regrets about the choice we made. Thanks again for an amazing experience to Serengeti African Tours and special thanks to Peter, who was committed to ensuring that we had an unforgettable experience!

Amazing experience! As nature lovers, this safari has been a turning point in our lives. A unique and unforgettable experience where the animals come to see you, not the other way around—this is when you truly realize what real freedom is. It’s true that luck plays a role, but having such an experienced guide like Matthew allowed us to enjoy the trip to the fullest and have truly incredible encounters. My favorite moment was when a pregnant leopard calmly decided to visit us right next to the 4x4. Situations like that only happen when the driver knows how to handle the vehicle and always maintains respect for wildlife. He also explained every detail about the parks and was very open with us—we had a great time! A 100% recommended experience.

An Unforgettable 6-Day Safari – An Incredible Experience I booked a 6-day safari with Serengeti African Tours together with my sister and cousin. First of all, I can say that it was one of the most beautiful and eventful experiences I have ever had. Planning the safari turned out to be very straightforward and was arranged via WhatsApp without any problems. Within a very short time, we received an offer as well as answers to our questions. The packing list that was provided was also very helpful in preparing us as first-time safari travelers. On the evening before our safari began, we received a short briefing with important information and details about the pickup. The itinerary absolutely thrilled us and exceeded all our expectations. Our guides, Adrian and David, were incredibly kind and knowledgeable, knew the best spots in the national parks, and answered every question we had. The accommodations were breathtakingly beautiful, and it was almost a shame that we could only stay one night at each place. Although we mostly stayed in tented camps or lodges, we would still recommend spending one night camping to complete the adventure. One night we stayed at a bush camp surrounded by zebras at night, and we could listen to them grazing. We learned an incredible amount and would do the trip exactly the same way again anytime! The only point of criticism we can mention is the sometimes insufficient communication. At times there were complications, which meant that one accommodation as well as the original itinerary had to be changed. We completely understand this, of course, but we would have appreciated being informed about it, for example in the form of an updated travel plan.

Safari - Maximale Adventure Wir hatten den besten Tourguide ever, Ali. Die Safari war ein Erlebnis, ein richtiges adventure. Wir haben 4 von 5 der big fives gesehen. Toll wäre es gewesen, hätten wir eine Packliste für das Camping bekommen. Darauf waren wir leider sehr unvorbereitet.
