FAQs
Can I add Ngorongoro Lodge Meliá Collection to a different safari?
Usually, yes, as long as the safari passes through Ngorongoro & Karatu. Tell us which safari you like and we'll send the price with Ngorongoro Lodge Meliá Collection in it.
Can I stay an extra night?
Yes. An extra night gives you a full day of game drives without packing up. We'll add the night, the extra park day and the meals to your quote.
What happens if it's full on my dates?
We tell you before you pay anything, and suggest the closest match in the same area and price range.
Is it suitable for children?
Tell us your children's ages and we'll check the property's rules for your dates. Some camps set a minimum age.
How do I pay?
Nothing is paid until you're happy with the quote. Then a deposit holds the safari: 20% for camping safaris, 40% for lodge safaris.
