Ngorongoro Private Crater Safari

Descend into the world's largest intact volcanic caldera in your own exclusive vehicle. The Big Five, your schedule, no crowds.

Private Safari

The Ngorongoro Crater, Exclusively Yours

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa's most remarkable wildlife destinations — a natural enclosure holding around 25,000 large animals, including black rhino, lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo. On this private safari, you explore it in your own 4x4 with a dedicated expert guide.

With no other travelers in your vehicle, you control the pace: linger beside a rhino sighting, enjoy a picnic lunch at the hippo pool, or ascend early for first light over the crater floor. This is the most personal way to experience a natural wonder of the world.
