Entamanu Ngorongoro
"Amazing place and service"
2 nights
Arrived
8 Oct 2019
"We loved Entamanu.
We loved the location as we are so closed to the road to get in the park, it was the best place.
The service was amazing and all the staff were great.
I particularly liked the family tent which was very special.
The only issue is that we didn't sleep. The reason is the wind which makes the tent flaps move and even the beds were shaking.
Even though we loved loved the camp and the food, we would probably not come back for this reason."

Feedback response
Entamanu is built in an exposed, remote location, with fantastic views, but wind can be a problem as noted in our write up. Generally July-August experiences more wind, although weather is more unpredictable these days due to climate change. The owners of the camp have done their best to mitigate the noise, including tightening tent structures and providing ear plugs, but unfortunately these clients seemed to have experienced particularly strong winds during their stay which impacted sleeping.

Safari in Ngorongoro Crater
"No words can describe it"
9 Oct 2019 • All-day excursion
Rowland our guide made this safari the best we had. He knew were to go to avoid crowds, we were always the first to see tings like a huge rock python or 13 lions in the grass eating a wilderbeest.
Thanks to our guide and the scenery, this was a magical day. Thanks Rowland

Balloon Safari over the Serengeti
"Great great excursion"
11 Oct 2019 • Morning excursion
We didn't know what to expect and we loved it.
We felt safe, the English pilot was perfect, the story about champagne and balloon made the whole excursion even more interesting.
The breakfast was really nice at the end.
We would highly recommend it!

White Sand Villas
"extremely nice villas"
4 nights
Arrived
13 Oct 2019
"We loved our villa and white sands to relax after a tyring week being on safari.
It was perfect.
The beach villas are so provate with an amazing view.
The only little little thing is that the maids and staff in general just enter the room without knocking or checking. We felt this was a little bit intrusive."
