WHY WE LOVE Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp
One of the camp’s greatest advantages is its location. Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp sits very close to the access road leading down to the crater floor, allowing for quick and efficient entry, particularly for early morning game drives.
This positioning maximises time spent on the crater floor during the most productive wildlife viewing hours, making it an excellent choice for travellers wanting a focused and rewarding Ngorongoro safari experience.
