We had the most amazing time visiting Ngorongoro crater for our 2 day private safari tour!
Naiman our tour guide was amazingly helpful and looked after us very well making sure we had everything we needed from the moment we were picked up from the airport until the moment we were dropped back off! This safari was a once in a lifetime experince for us and Naiman made sure we saw both our favourite animals, lions and elephants..
Regarding everything else, we didnt realise the safari would only be on the first day and by the time we travelled from Arusha (the flight that was booked for us was later in the morning) we only had 3 hours around the park before it closed, so a bit more time to see more animals wouldve been amazing.. we also asked if we'd be able to see animals the next day but understand this needs to be prebooked with the national parks now!
We had also booked the luxury accomodation, we noticed on the website our original accomdoation site was no longer available and it gave the option to stay at Rift Valley or Karatu so we believed paying for luxury we would be staying in their luxury accomodation on those sites.. we stayed on neither, instead on their new lake manyara sites in a safari tent fitted with a toilet and shower, everything was lovely, well equipped, and clean but not what we had originally paid for.. we'd like some clarification on this or a prewarning for this would have been ideal? despite this the new site had amazing views and all the staff were so lovely and welcoming!
The whole experience was amazing but long and tiring for a 3 hour trip, we hope to return one day to experience some more!
