Olduvai Camp
Overview
Located in the Ngorongoro Conservation area, close to the Olduvai Gorge, the Camp offers a truly unique bush experience between the Ngorongoro Crater and the vast Serengeti plains.
Unlike national parks, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area does not exclude human life. Indeed, man and wildlife have been sharing this vast expanse of over 8 500 sqkm for hundreds of years...
The Masai live here on their ancestral lands and continue their traditional way of life. They are herdsmen whose lives revolve entirely around their cattle.The animals not only serve as food, but are also their only form of income and measure of their wealth.
The Camp is built around the shady edges of a kopje. The low hills rise up from the plains, and with massive granite boulders, trees and bushes, are a dramatic feature of the Savannah. The 17 comfortable tents offer a veranda with superb views over the plains, a tree lined shallow valley as well as the spectacular Ngorongoro Highlands and mountains.

Optional - EXCURSIONS WITH THE MASSAI
The area around Olduvai is ideal for hiking and walking. The tours are organized directly from the camp: Enjoy an afternoon walk to the highest kopjes in the area. You will experience the African sunset against the backdrop of the breathtaking plains of the Serengeti. In the morning hours we recommend an excursion to the nearby Olduvai Gorge. A special trek is the day trip to a summit of the surrounding volcanoes. All treks are led by experienced Masai warriors.
