Reasons To
Visit Tanzania

  • Beaches

    It is extremely easy to add some beach relaxation in Zanzibar after a tiring safari on the mainland; the beaches are stunning and diving is excellent. You don't have to travel far either as the island is only a 30 minute flight from Dar Es Salaam. Tanzania is therefore the ideal location to combine a safari and beach break.

    Beaches

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    Tanzania has some of Africa's most famous and best national parks and reserves where you are guaranteed fantastic big cat sightings. The Serengeti, Selous and the Crater are just some of the best game viewing areas to visit.

  • Birds

    Tanzania has more than 1,000 species of birds and some spectacular places to view them. Lake Natron is also the only known breeding ground for East Africa's millions of lesser flamingos which cover the lake between August and October.

  • Chimpanzees

    The Mahale Mountains - towering almost 2km above the shore of Lake Tanganyika are home to some of the last remaining wild chimpanzees. There are currently around 900 which are habituated to humans, and tracking them is a magical experience.

  • Great Migration

    One of the highlights of the Serengeti National park is the great annual migration which passes through this amazing wilderness. Up to 1.8 million wildebeest and zebra have been counted doing their annual trip in search of the sweet grasses and the rains.

  • Local Culture

    Tanzania has an evocative mix of people and cultures with 120 ethnic groups making up the diverse population. The largest group are the Sukuma but perhaps the most memorable are the Maasai who you will often see in Northern Tanzania herding their cattle, goats and sheep.

Kensington Ngorongoro Crater Camp

Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Kensington Ngorongoro Crater Camp is a small camp located around half an hour from the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater rim.

Amongst this area of quiet hills and umbrella acacia trees, you're far more likely to see Maasai herding goats than another safari vehicle, and it's difficult to believe there's such seclusion so close to the crater rim.

There are eight comfortable but basic safari tents, all containing two queen-size beds, a dressing area, wardrobe, safari chairs to relax and read a book in. The rooms are powered by solar electricity and the en suite bathroom of each tent has a plumbed hot and cold water system, with a shower, flush toilet and basin.

Meals based around hearty safari food are all taken in the central mess area and a campfire is lit each night for evening drinks. It can get rather chilly up on the crater rim in the winter months, but Maasai blankets are provided to ensure the comfort of guests.

The staff here are truly delightful, and will only be too happy to show you how to drape the traditional shukas to keep warm.
