You will be staying in twin rooms. Bicycles should be at the Lodge 2 hours prior to the fitting session with the cycle maintenance team as well as the chief and assistant guides. Once bikes are fitted, you will mark your bike with a personal number ready for the challenge.
Bike fitting is done on arrival day before dinner time; which is between 17:00 to 18:00 hr.

If you are flying home on this day in order to make your flight on time the flight must depart from 17:40 onwards.
Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact caldera in the world, which has created its own ecosystem protecting the most beautiful wildlife in Africa! A permanent population of more than 30,000 animals inhabit a mere 260 km² (100 square miles) in the 600 m (2 000 ft) deep Crater, making this one of the few places in Africa where guests stand a great chance of seeing the entire Big Five in the course of a single game drive!
