My Aug 2023 trip
Tanzania between 25 Aug 2023 and 5 Sep 2023
All our ground arrangements were very good, especially being met by a very efficient lady from Swiss port at the airport on arrival and being transferred to our accommodations.
Loved our trip, and want to go back again asap. Asilia guides and camps excellent.
Not that keen on Ngorongoro farmhouse but ok for a stop over.
Thank you Tam for all your hard work in organising our trip so that everything went without a hitch."

Very close to the wildlife, elephants came into camp and you could hear them all making their rumbling noises all though the night!
Very good food and service. Very attentive staff.
Good location."

Ngorongoro Farmhouse Lodge
"Ngorongoro Farmhouse Lodge review"
The management weren’t very helpful if you had an issue. The other staff were pleasant enough, and the food average.
The location is ok for access to the main gate for Ngorongoro crater.
The gardens weren’t as special as I had hoped. We did have a tour of the coffee production by a lovely guy.
Good for stop over but in hindsight we maybe wasted a day here as we stayed 3 nights. 2 probably better."

Safari in Ngorongoro Crater
"Safari in Ngorongoro Crater review"
30 Aug 2023 • All-day excursion
We saw a Rhino in the distance, as well as water buffalo with ox peckers cleaning their ears and egrets sitting on their backs. Lots of egrets and water birds around the lake.
Hippos, and elephants and wildebeests. The latter even doing a mini migration in the crater… all walking in a line one after the other. No giraffes here.
Wonderful experience, descending into the crater and viewing the landscape and animals.

Ubuntu Camp
"Ubuntu Camp review"
We did get to see the migration of wildebeest over the mara. A amazing spectacle in itself. Saw leopards and lions generally sleeping in the afternoons. Some Giraffes and a few elephants. Also hyenas. Mainly huge herds of wildebeests! Landscape amazing too.
Food was good, and the people very nice.
I heard Hyenas howling through the night as well lions. The hyenas were very close, they seemed to be all around the camp."

The garden was simple, we had hoped to use the pool however it was full of bugs floating on the top… they do not seem to clean the surface of it, so that put us off using it.
Quite peaceful location, generally ok for a stop over."
