An extended safari with premium crater-rim accommodation. Wake up to views over the Ngorongoro Crater floor before descending for a full day of game viewing.
This 8-day itinerary is designed for travellers who want to spend more time in each park and stay at premium accommodation with crater-rim views. Two nights on the Ngorongoro Crater rim mean you wake up to one of the most spectacular views in Africa — the entire crater floor spread out 600 metres below.
Combined with extended time in the Serengeti and game drives in Tarangire and Manyara, this is one of our most rewarding safari experiences.
