Lemala Ngorongoro is an intimate, seasonal camp set in an ancient acacia forest on the rim of the crater next to the quiet Lemala access route. All year except April and May, the camp offers accommodation under canvas in only 8 luxury tents (16 to 20 guests) and 1 family tent (4 to 5 guests), which ensures seclusion in a pristine forest environment.
Each spacious tent is fitted with a gas heater, large single or king-size beds with warm duvets, wooden flooring with rugs, 24-hour solar lighting, en suite bathrooms with a dressing area, flush toilet and a large safari shower. House drinks and laundry are included. The mess tent is beautifully furnished with grand sofas, lamps, book shelves and corner cabinets in old wood, chests and rugs. In the evening, you can gather around the campfire for sundowners before being hosted by the camp manager for dinner under chandeliers. The camp works closely with the local Masai community who often provide dances and talks on Masai life, their cultures, traditions and ceremonies. This provides the opportunity to engage with the Masai and discover more about their traditional lifestyles. |

From Lemala Ngorongoro there is quick and easy access into the crater, which maximizes game viewing opportunities. The morning crater traffic is avoided. Game drives from the camp may start as early as 6.15am and it only takes 15 minutes to descend onto the crater floor where the scenery is breathtaking and the wildlife abundant.
Very often Lemala clients are on their own on the crater floor, enjoying the solitude and early morning light.
The other advantage of this location is its close proximity to Ol Moti and Empakai craters, which offer beautiful landscapes and scenery. Walks from the camp into the forest and along the crater rim together with an armed ranger and the Masai gives you spectacular panoramas of the crater and an insight into the forest dwelling animals. Lemala camps also offer private hot lunches inside the crater or breakfast with the Masai on request.
