Getting There

Private Car
If you're traveling by private car within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, head towards the Serengeti National Park gates. From there, follow the signs for Serenget Under Canvas, which is located approximately 60 km from the Ngorongoro Crater Rim. The route is well-marked, but please be cautious of wildlife on the roads. The drive typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on road conditions. Make sure your vehicle is equipped for off-road travel, as some parts of the route may be rough.

Public Transportation
Using public transportation can be a bit more challenging. From the main entrance of Ngorongoro Conservation Area, look for shared taxis or 'dala-dalas' heading towards the Serengeti National Park. You may need to communicate your destination to the driver, as they might not be familiar with Serenget Under Canvas specifically. The ride can take around 2 to 3 hours, and you should expect to pay approximately $15 to $20 USD per person. Once you arrive at the Serengeti Park entrance, you may require additional transportation such as a safari vehicle to reach the camp, which can be arranged through your accommodation.
