Overview of Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp

Tanzania, Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania is one of the world's most unusual wildlife destinations. Its walls are the unbroken caldera of an ancient volcano and, over the course of millennia, the minerals on the crater floor left from the last eruption created an extremely fertile soil that supports plenty of grazing for plains game.

The lush grassland attracted as many animals as could make the journey over its steep rim and today, Ngorongoro is home to 30 000 mammals, most of which never leave its protected paradise. As a result, the Crater offers some of the best game viewing in Africa, including zebra, eland, elephant and a parade of predators, from jackals and hyenas to leopards and lions. It’s not unusual to see all members of the Big 5 in a single day.

Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp is located in the Crater's rim valley, close to the access road that leads to the crater floor. This is an authentic tented camp with spacious tents, each with an en suite bathroom. In addition to superb and varied game viewing, you can also have a cultural encounter in a traditional Maasai village. Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp offers a classic tented experience where wildlife and scenic beauty are the central attractions.

    The weather in Tanzania was much more tolerable than expected, and the safaris got even better! Both Sanctuary properties were wonderful. The food was delicious, the staff was attentive and amazing, and the locations were superior. Except for the elusive cheetah, there was nothing that we missed. The number of animals in the crater was simply amazing, and even our guide was surprised when driving down to the airstrip we were confronted with 3 large lions… sooooo cool!

    This was a very good camp, but due to the limitations of the crater, the safari jeep travel was not as flexible as the other two camps, but still quite good. Two nights were the right amount of time, which allowed for one full day in the crater. The camp's location was beautiful, but cold at night. Upon leaving the airstrip on arrival, the guide asked if we wanted to stop at the tourist shopping area, which we did. The shopping area was quite nice and we were able to purchase good gifts, but it would have been helpful to know that this stop option existed. There's always a question when a tourist guide brings you to a designated shopping area. It was nice, just a surprise stop.
