The rim of the Ngorongoro crater can reach up to 7,500 feet in altitude, which means you should be prepared for possible signs of altitude sickness.

On Short Breaks, you maintain a good level of independence and freedom, with the added bonus of having the details sorted out for you. You’ll have lots of free time and you won’t be accompanied by a Trip Leader. This means that all included activities and tours will be run by different local Tuuur partners, and these may operate independently from each other. The included activities and transfers will operate on a join-in basis, which means that you could have your Adventure all to yourself, or others may join you along the way. If you would prefer to travel in a group with a dedicated Trip Leader, just get in touch with your booking agent and they will take you through some alternatives.

Our safari tour guide, Julius was amazing from start to end. He was very accommodating to our requests, and even managed to find us a leopard, which was our main goal for the holiday, completing the big five. He made the journey as comfortable as possible, making the ‘African massage’ almost pleasant. We felt safe the whole time, and cannot thank him enough for all of the wonderful experiences we had. He made sure we had an amazing honeymoon and we now have such incredible experiences to remember from this trip. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone else thinking about going on safari in the Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti.

A trip to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater is not to be missed! Seeing wild animals in their natural habitat is enriching for both body and soul. Our guide was amazingly adept at spotting animals and anticipating their behavior so as to place us in the optimal position to observe them without disturbing them. Seeing these animals made us even more devoted to protecting them and their homeland. The Tanzanian goverment has done an impressive job in setting aside so much protected land for these amazing creatures. Each night, we stayed in lovely settings, either private cabins or tented rooms, both very comfortable. We would definitley recommend this trip to everyone!

Our experience of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely outstanding! Our guide, Godfrey, ensured we had a premium experience thanks to his guiding skills and knowledge of the areas. Accommodations in premium tent structures or lodges were amazing, and seeing an elephant outside our room while in the Serengeti was an unmatched experience! This short-but-sweet tour provided us with everything we could have wanted (and more) - including the Big 5, lions and leopards eating their prey, and even a glimpse of the annual zebra/wildebeest migration.
