Day notes
After breakfast with the rising sun, you will leave camp with your guide for the morning drive. Drives are conducted in comfortable 4x4 vehicles and will last roughly 4-5 hours, offering the chance to spot buffalo,elephant, giraffe, gazelle and, of course, the ever present predators. Take a picnic lunch with you and eat under the shade of the large baobabs that dot the landscape, or head back to camp and enjoy lunch in the main dining room. Relax in camp during the heat of the day, before continuing your exploration of the area on the afternoon drive. In the evening, enjoy dinner at the camp and head to the campfire where whiskies are poured and safari tales told late into the night.
NB: There is no better way to experience the wilderness of East Africa up close and personal than on foot,and walking safaris with an expert guide from Oliver’s are also available at an extra cost.
Day notes
After breakfast, pack your bags and begin the drive to The Highlands camp in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Oliver’s Camp will provide a packed lunch to enjoy on the journey. After you have settled in to your domed suite, spend the afternoon following the ancient Maasai trails to the top of the Olmoti crater (NB For full board guests, there will be an extra charge for the walk). The gentle 2-3 hour ascent leads you through mountain forest, grassland and rocky outcrops and is a botanist’s dream with varying vegetation and a variety of splendid fern species on show. The birding is outstanding and once at the summit, you will be treated to a simply stunning view of the Olmoti crater itself. On return to camp settle in for the night around the inside fireplace, the perfect place to unwind at the end of your long day exploring.

Day notes
Wake up with the rising sun and begin the 40 minute drive from The Highlands to the Ngorongoro Craterrim. Look out for the zebra interspersed with the Maasai cattle as they are brought out to pasture, and the magnificent view down to the Ngorongoro Crater. You will spend the morning exploring the vast 300sq km crater floor with the opportunity to spot the Big 5 and the many roaming predators present on the mineral rich floor. Lunch will be served on the crater floor, and in the afternoon, you may continue your exploration of the crater or perhaps visit one of the local Maasai communities close to camp, offering an insight into the traditional way of life that has defined this corner of East Africa for centuries.
