Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp is a tranquil and intimate safari camp nestled within an ancient acacia forest on the quieter eastern rim of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, offering easy and early access to one of Africa’s most legendary wildlife arenas — the Ngorongoro Crater.

Its blend of rustic bush ambience, thoughtful design, and immersive location embodies the spirit of a classic African safari.

The camp features nine spacious, solar‑powered Meru‑style luxury tents — including a family‑size option — each positioned for privacy within the forest and furnished with comfortable beds, warm winter‑weight duvets, gas heaters, and en‑suite bathrooms with safari‑style showers and flush toilets. Interiors are deliberately simple yet welcoming, blending authentic safari style with essential comfort. Communal spaces — a beautifully furnished mess tent, lounge and bar with comfy sofas, and a campfire area under starlit skies — provide relaxed settings for convivial dinners, sundowners, and shared safari stories before or after crater explorations.
