The guiding is exceptional, ensuring you have the best chance to spot predators year-round, including lions and leopards.
Your adventure continues as you head to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll stay at the Farm of Dreams Lodge. This mid-range lodge is known for its spacious rooms overlooking lush gardens, making it a perfect base for exploring the crater. The lodge offers hearty buffet-style meals and early breakfasts for your crater safari, ensuring you’re well-fueled for the day ahead.
