We are 4 friends who had a great trip to Ngorongoro to see the February wildebeest migration. A really good driver-guide who totally understood our needs, as we are experienced safari people quite interested in birding. Game viewing was also superb. A good choice of camps, fine value, fun times - altogether an amazing safari! Adam provided an efficient service. We felt well cared for.
