Olduvai Camp

Located in the Ngorongoro Conservation area, close the Olduvai Gorge the Olduvai camp is built around the shady edges of a "kopje." These low hills rise up from the plains and with their massive granite boulders and trees and bushes are a dramatic feature of the savannah. 

All sixteen tents encircle the kopje and back onto it, giving a "bush feel," remote with minimal impact but secure. Each has superb views from the verandah of the surrounding savannah dry-lands, a tree-lined shallow valley and the spectacular Ngorongoro Highlands and mountains. All the tents are similarly decorated but retain a certain originality, with a terrace, a large safari canvas tent, a bedroom and a dressing room alcove with en-suite bathroom: flush toilets, basin and shower (24 hour hot water). Next to the bar and restaurant, the fireplace is ideal place for enjoying the evenings under the stars, accompanied by the Maasai staff. The fireplace is the real "heart" of the camp. Deck chairs are arranged around the circular firepit, and bar service is available throughout.

The iconic migration passes annually through the Sergengeti National Park just to the North. Hundreds of thousands of thundering zebras and wildebeest pass through, followed closely by hungry predators stalking the masses. There are many other animals that can be too, including giraffes, elephants and rhinos.
