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!”

Samara H2025-02-15Verified Fantastic safari with exceptional guide Abouh We had the most incredible 4-day safari experience in Tanzania with Serengeti African Tours! From start to finish, everything was seamless, with great communitcation. They were willing to tailor the package to accomodate our requests, meaning we enjoyed a mix of camping and lodge accomodation, the perfect blend of comfort and immersion into the natural beauty of Tanzania. The safari exceeded all expectations but what truly set it apart was our guide Abouh. His knowledge of wildlife and local culture was impressive, finding the perfect balance of informing us and letting us take everything in. His ability to get us to exactly where we needed to be at the right moments ensured we had an opportunity to spot the big 5 (with the exception of a stubborn leopard hiding within a tree). We could not recommend him enough, we are giving him the nickname Mufusa (king) Abouh. Liam R2025-02-15Verified 4 day mixed safari with incredible guide Abouh I had an unforgettable 4-day safari experience in Tanzania, made even more special by our incredible guide, Abouh! From the start, he ensured we were comfortable and seamlessly tailored the trip to our preferences, balancing camping and lodge accommodations for the perfect mix of adventure and comfort. His deep knowledge of wildlife and local culture was impressive, and his ability to spot animals from miles away ensured we were always in the right place at the right time. We were lucky enough to see lions, elephants, giraffes, a rhino, and so much more. The landscape was breathtaking, and everything ran smoothly throughout, thanks to Abouh's expertise. His passion for the safari and dedication to providing an exceptional experience truly set this trip apart. We can't recommend him enough—he's earned the nickname Mufusa Abouh! Zade H2025-02-15Verified Perfect 4 Day Safari with Amazing Guide Amazing! From the get go, communication from Serengeti African Tours was fantastic, with quick replies that answered all our questions. Everything apart from tipping was included in our initial price, including park fees, food, accomodation etc. and it all met and exceeded expectations. The safari itself was phenomenal, each national park had its own unique touch and diverse wildlife that constantly kept us interested.We managed to see lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, rhinos and so much more!! This was all thanks to our brilliant driver Abouh, he always knew exactly where to go and his driving was exceptional, we were often the first ones to spot an animal. Even when there were many cars around an animal, Abouh got us the perfect view every time, he is the king!! His knowledge about the animals was also top notch. I would highly recommend Serengeti African tours and would book with them and Abouh again, the next time I’m in Tanzania. Mikayla K2025-02-15Verified Incredible 4 day safari with fantastic tour guide Abouh I had an amazing safari experience in Tanzania, and it was made even better by our fantastic tour guide Abouh!!

The landscape was stunning, and the entire trip felt seamless, thanks to our guide’s expertise. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure, I highly recommend this safari & our tour guide Abouh! Jacob A2025-02-06Verified Amazing tour!

The communication between us and the company was smooth and they helped us with all our needs. Clara A2025-02-06Verified Amazing Safari Tour!! We loved our trip with Serengeti African Tours and we really recommend this company to everyone.Our amazing guide David was the best! He are so kind, funny and always find the best spot to see the animals. We had a very good time with him and he got a place in our hearts. He will always do the best for the tourists experience.Also Lina, who we communicated with before and sometimes during the safari was also so kind and made us feel very comfortable. She answered our text message all the time, both during days and nights. My O2025-02-05Verified Amazing safari We loved the safari!! We were picked up at the airport and got a quick briefing on how the safari should work (we went on a five-day safari where we visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). The day after our amazing guide David picked us up at the hotel and wow what we got to experience a lot. He was a very experienced guide and knew a lot about the animals and knew every road by heart in all the parks. We got to see incredibly cool animals and the accommodations we stayed at were above expectations. It was good food all day and fresh accommodations, we loved to combine staying at nice lodges with pool and to stay in glamping tents out in the wilderness with the animals just outside. Linah had incredibly quick response to all the questions they had before booking. All were very hospitable and we can warmly recommend Serengeti African Tour and King David as a guide!! Eugen S2025-02-02Verified Great team & tour We were very lucky to have a great group of people joining us on the safari, the tour guides were nice and the views & spots were awesome. We managed to spot the Big Five :-) The price was great for the quality.
