Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp is a special 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 an 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 be staying away from the cold and mist which envelops the crater rim for much of the year.
This Tortilis Camp has many activities to enjoy. Join the Maasai staff for a hike to the top of Mount Makarot a steep and exciting challenge with a peak over 3100m and when you reach the summit enjoy the rewards with spectacular views of the Serengeti, a peek into the Ngorongoro crater, and, on a clear day, Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance.
On offer too is an authentic Maasai wedding with the local tribe. A pulsating experience and unique spectacle with you and your partner at the very centre of it all.

Sandra and David DesrochesPosted on TimVerified Unforgettable 7-Day Kilimanjaro Climb & 5-Day Safari with an Amazing Dream Team We started our visit with climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the 7 DAYS LEMOSHO ROUTE followed by the 5 DAYS CLASSIC TANZANIA SAFARI. Climbing Kilimanjaro was an unforgettable 7-day journey, not only because we reached the summit, but because of the dream team that made it possible. Patrick (guide) and Gabriël (assistant guide) guided us safely, always motivating us when things became tough. You could really feel that the entire team of guides, cook and porters were on a mission for us to reach our goal in the best way possible. Setting up camp ahead of us and always greeting us with a smile. We will carry both the mountain and this dream team forever in our hearts. We also enjoyed the 5-day safari a lot. Praygod is an excellent guide and driver. We were able to spot the big 5 and experience some unforgettable moments: A pride of more then 20 lions walking past our 4x4 Land Cruiser, momma cheetah enjoying a gazelle meal with 4 cubs, momma leopard taking along her cub with prey in her mouth while climbing in a tree, big groups of elephants crossing the road, spotting a Rhino and her cub,… The overnight stays were also enjoyable and comfortable. Even in the tented lodges in the middle of the Serengeti and at the edge of the Ngorongoro crater we had all the comfort and delicious food we needed. Thank you Patrick and team! Thank you Praygod! Thank you Tanzania Joy Tours!Posted on Guillaume NVerified Nous recommandons tanzania joys tour Nous avons passé un super trek avec tanzania joys tour.

L’ aventure à laquelle nous avons participé moi et mon ami durant c’est 6 jours sur la voie Machame était juste exceptionnel tant sur les paysages que sur la qualité du parcours sans compter le professionnalisme de l’équipe (Guidé par Dixon et Rama), les repas était juste top pour ce type d’environnement, de même pour les tentes. Une aventure que je recommande au plus sportif d’entre nous, oui l’ascension finale n’est pas faite pour le monde.
