With the ideal vantage point on the crater rim, Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp offers spectacular views of this wildlife wonderland. The Ngorongoro National Park is a colorful mix of flora and fauna with a huge diversity of wildlife populating the crater floor with a plethora of big cat predators joined by elephants, wildebeest, and zebra.
Accommodation takes the form of 10 luxury tents, each of which boasts spacious interiors and a number of amenities to ensure your comfort. All tents are en-suite and feature bucket showers, while mosquito nets keep out unwanted guests. The main guest areas include a lounge area with comfortable places to relax, a bar, and a dining tent. The camp's delicious cuisine can also be enjoyed in the heart of the bush, an exciting way to enjoy your lunch.

Given the location on the crater ridge, the rooms were excellently equipped.
We couldn't believe it really.
The bucket shower was far better than expected.
Wifi access too which was unexpected.
Again staff, food & drink given the location were superb.
Great atmosphere around the camp and the fire.
Incredibly warm, friendly staff who took care of every detail. Accommodations were as wonderful as one could expect for "Glamping" - basically, upscale hotel rooms with canvas walls and zippered doors. Joseph was a great guide.
