| Game
Drives
Experience thrilling daily game drives in closed Land Rovers with
pop up roofs into the crater (half day and full day). Driving within
the Serengeti is an otional extra, but a photographer's dream. Game
and bird viewing opportunities in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area
are exceptional. You may request the sole use of a Land Rover for
game viewing, but this is at your own expense.
Interpretive Walks
Guided walking safaris follow a dramatic route, skirting the rim
of the crater and are an optional extra.
Adventures
Guests are invited to visit a Maasai cultural village, situated
in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. In the village, guests are
free to walk around, browse through the local handicrafts or watch
Maasai dancing. You
can visit beautiful lakes Ndutu and Eyasi, and the impressive Empakaai
Crater. You can also enjoy deliciously cool sundowners with exceptional
views, as well as private bush breakfasts and lunches. All of these
activities are optional extras.
Excursions to the volcanic ash dune of "Shifting Sands"
near Olduvai are a highlight. It is also possible to explore the
roots of mankind on our half- or full-day excursions to the famous
archeological site of Olduvai Gorge. Nearby Laetoli has revealed
fossil footprints of animals and ancestral humans who walked the
earth 3.6 million years ago.
Olduvai Gorge, a 45-minute game drive away, has produced the finest
quality and greatest abundance of paleo-anthropological information
concerning the behaviour and physical structure of our earliest
ancestors.
Library
Other activities at the lodge include croquet and boulle (French
game similar to bowls), board games and a stunning collection of
wildlife books, magazines and videos.
