A New Era for Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp.
Right at the edge of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp and its brand-new safari tents sit amongst the region’s striking acacia trees. Facing south into the fernlike crown of the forest's canopy, the camp has a unique perspective on the wow-inducing extinct-volcano landscape.

Many of our guests tell us the most memorable part of their safari experience is the sundowner. What is yours?⠀ ⠀ 📍 Sanctuary Kusini⠀ 🌍 Southern Serengeti, Tanzania⠀

"This lion had just finished eating a buffalo, and looked very full. Our guide, Hamisi, told us he wouldn't need to eat again for a week!" - Natasha, guest at Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp 🦁⠀

The Temple of Kom Ombo is dedicated to the crocodile-god Sobek. The temple stands at a bend in the Nile where, in ancient times, sacred crocodiles basked in the sun on the riverbank. 🇪🇬⠀

Sanctuary Olonana, Masai Mara 📍

What a fabulous recent stay we had @ Chiefs Camp. Superb in every aspect. Faultless. Dream to return there again......

We visited Sanctuary Makanyane in Madikwe, South Africa in January.

Fabulous unforgettable experience!

We were looked after so well.

Wildlife was awesome.

Professional staff.Great guides lovely rooms and delicious food.Can't fault anything.

Truly one of the best experiences of our lives. I would highly recommend Makanyane to anyone, the location, facilities, staff, food, wine are excellent. Thank you to all the staff for making our honeymoon so memorable. And thank you to our awesome guide Dylan for 8 amazing game drives. We couldn't have wished for more x

Spent an amazing time at the Crater, Kusini and Migration Sanctuary Camps in Tanzania -great locations, super friendly staff and delicious food!

So so good

Sanctuary Zein Nile Chateau.....the finest ever.....great accommodations, great food, and, most of all, great staff

Sanctuary Kichakani exceeded our expectations. We booked this movable Serengeti camp to experience game drives, and we were delighted with the results. Our expert guide, Emmanuel, knew precisely where to go and when. We saw all Big 5 in one day, and we saw a wildebeest river crossing, complete with crocodile attack. Kichakani itself is a glamping experience with an attentive and friendly staff. One caution: Because it is a movable camp, there is no permanent plumbing for showers. Showers are provided via a bucket system outside the tent and delivered through a regular shower head in the tent. You would hardly know you are not in a 5-star hotel shower, except that you must order in advance and are limited to 3 minutes. Meals in the main tent are excellent. We saw wildebeest, marabou stork and other wildlife right outside the tents.

Perfect. See my video about their luxury Nile Cruise.

One of the classy and fabulous adventure in the London

My husband and I stayed at Makayane over a year ago now as part of our honeymoon and it was just a dream come true! I still think about this place on a weekly basis (at least), it was just the most incredible experience! Dylan was our guide, who was just amazing- so knowledgeable! All the other guides seemed equally as great and a special mention has to be given to David (who walked us back to our lodge each night), his words " I am not scared" will always be etched in my memory! My brother is there now for his honeymoon and I am � convinced they will have an unforgettable time, as we did! Really pray that I get to go back one day!

Loved it! Could’ve stayed on the Sanctuary Zein Nile Chateau for a week! The hospitality, the service, the staff, the room was fabulous!! Could not say enough great things about our experience!!

Looks Like Heaven on earth.I would love to Visit one day,buh I think this December am saving up for an experience of a lifetime.

Just finished 10 days in Zambia and stayed at Chichelle and at Sussi and Chuma. Everything was incredible. Accomodations, staff, service and cuisine. Can't wait to go back!

Its amazing safary

I'm Green with envy. ..never been to one. A five-star Dream.

I can't wait 2 guide for this company

Enjoyed our time in Botswana and outstanding accommodation, food and friendly service at the 3 Sanctuary resorts

Amazing experience. The best guides, really lovely staff and really peaceful vibes at all the camps I stayed at (Swala, Ngnorongoro Crater and Kichikani) The food was incredible and the service provided was outstanding. I would and almost certainly will book with them again.

All the staff at Sanctuary Baines were lovely, great fun and nothing was too much trouble. Our stay was made extra special, as they sang a traditional Setswana song to me on my 40th birthday and gave me a birthday cake and a bottle of champagne, we also had a lovey bubble bath on the balcony with hippos grunting in the water below...magical. Our safari guide Max was also great. He had lots of knowledge about the wildlife and plants and was good fun as well. It was lovely to only have another 8 guests staying at the lodge, it felt exclusive and special, the food was top class...everything was just perfect. It was also amazing to be on a private reserve when viewing the animals. We also loved the Elephant experience, meeting Jabu and Marula - check out Living with Elephants on Facebook. Thanks or a great stay Julie & Nigel x
