Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp

Tanzania

About this stay

Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp is set on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, offering 12 spacious canvas tents with stunning crater views. The camp provides a cosy and intimate base for exploring one of Africa's most extraordinary wildlife destinations. Each tent features two queen-size beds with warm winter-weight duvets, gas heaters for cool highland mornings and evenings, and hot water bottles for cold nights. En-suite bathrooms include flush toilets, large safari-style showers, and luxurious towels and bathrobes. Wooden storage cabinets, wooden floors, 24-hour solar lighting, tea-and-coffee stations, and outside loungers complete the comfort. One tent has two bedrooms for families. The large communal mess tent features a lounge with comfortable seating, a bar, and a dining area where guests dine together around a long table. A selection of books and the traditional game of bao provide entertainment. The crater rim location ensures first-access game drives into the crater, typically arriving before most other vehicles.
