The last place on earth
"In the Ngorongoro area, to the east, where the plains rise slowly... the time sense is accelerated... Olduvai Gorge, Ngorongoro Crater... the Serengeti outside... the western wall of the Great Rift... All this is packed in together, offering the visitor the eerie sense that he is being rushed from the Garden of Eden backward through the first six days of Creation."
Harold T. P. Hayes, THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH

If you are visiting the north of Tanzania, you might consider staying at the Rhino Lodge in Ngorongoro - owned by Essential Destinations - for really good value and a genuine experience. They offer visits to Masaai visits. We recommend it.
