LEMALA NGORONGORO TENTED CAMP
Outsight
- Camp
- Lemala Ngorongoro is intimately set in a delightful ancient acacia forest close to the rim of the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater.
As it is located next to the quiet Lemala crater access road on the eastern side, a key advantage of staying at Lemala Ngorongoro is the quick and easy drive down on to the crater floor in the morning; Lemala guests usually have an hour’s head start over others descending via the far busier Seneto crater access road on the western rim. Game drives from camp may start as early as 6. 15am and guests can be down among Ngorongoro’s abundant wildlife on the floor within 10-15 minutes-crucial for photographers who demand the best light conditions. Escorted walks are also available into the forest and along the crater rim with an armed ranger and Maasai guide. Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp has 9 spacious tents that are positioned carefully to provide privacy and with minimal impact on the pristine forest environment.
They accommodate two queen-size beds, and as it can get cool on the Ngorongoro Crater rim at night, little luxuries like warm winter-weight duvets, hot water bottles and gas heaters ensure a cosy night’s sleep. The roomy en-suite bathrooms contain a dressing area, flush toilet and a large safari-style shower.

- 10 en-suite tents positioned under a canopy of indigenous trees
- A perfect stopover between Lake Manyara and Ngorogoro Crater
Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge is centrally situated on the northern safari circuit in Tanzania. Close to Lake Manyara National Park and the gate to Ngorongoro Crater it’s the perfect stopover between the two.
Using Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge as a base for a few days you can also visit Tarangire National Park (about 1.5 hrs away) and Lake Eyasi (1 hr away) as well as explore the region around Karatu where there are many hiking/walking opportunities and possibilities for cultural exchanges.
ANG'ATA NGORONGORO CAMP
Outsight
- Camp
- The camp is set under the Acacia forest on the north eastern side of the Ngorongoro Crater’s rim
Just inside the park boundaries our location permits early game drives down to the crater leaving you almost alone to discover this World Heritage Site.
Up to 25,000 animals call the crater their home; the only prominent absentees would be the Maasai Giraffes who cannot cope with the steep slopes of the crater.
The main attraction and also the most elusive are the 23 Black Rhinoceroses that live inside the crater, maybe the one and only chance to see them in the wild.
From camp Empakaai Crater is in half a day’s hiking distance, and a Maasai Boma is located a few kilometers away for those who wish to meet the Maasai.
LION'S PAW CAMP
Outsight
- Camp
- Lion’s Paw Camp is nestled beneath a quiet grove of red thorn acacia trees, high atop the eastern rim of the Ngorongoro Crater.
One of a only a few tented properties located in the Ngorongoro Crater Area, this camp of eight tents is ideal for those looking to escape the tourist congestion associated with the lodge accommodations. The campsite was carefully selected for its sense of privacy and intimacy with nature, its panoramic views of the Crater Highlands, and its proximity to the crater floor, a mere 10 minutes! It’s the only accommodation in the Crater area that allows you to experience the beauty of the Crater floor before the crowds descend. Another benefit is that you can return to camp for hot lunch thereby avoiding the one crowded picnic area and public look.
