Ngorongoro Explorer sits on the north-eastern rim of the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, looking down on a crater floor that holds an estimated 25,000 large animals. Rooms are planned around panoramic crater views, and the camp follows the same model as Elewana's Serengeti Explorer for its architecture, guiding and experiences. A seasonal stream feeds a natural clearing close to camp, which draws elephant, buffalo and plains game. Daily access to the crater puts that wildlife within easy reach.

Potentially the best bit: elephant, buffalo and plains game drawn to a seasonal stream and clearing by camp, right on the crater rim.
