How fortunate we are to share this protected space with one of the most majestic tribes in the world – the proud Maasai, still living their ancient ways up in the thin crisp air of the Ngorongoro Highlands. The Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp respects this space and incorporates the Maasai into much of its activities of this Tortilis Camp. Our Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp is a unique oasis nestled under a forest canopy at the end of a valley. A magical place of dappled light, surrounded by the lushest green vegetation and buzzing with the energy of this high-altitude wonderland. Just 13km away is the Ngorongoro crater rim. The crater itself is a must-visit wonder of nature, but you’ll be happy to stay away from the cold and mist that envelops the crater rim for much of the year.
