Lemala Ngorongoro
Lemala Ngorongoro
Lemala Ngorongoro is a classic tented camp experience that is draped in understated luxury, an excellent option when seeking accommodation near the famous Ngorongoro Crater. Just a short drive away from the entrance gate to the Crater, the Lemala Ngorongoro is an ideal location from which to explore, allowing guests to arrive first and leave last.
The main tent at the Camp has a small sitting area and a communal table set up for meals. There is a charging station set up in the main tent for mobile phones and camera batteries and guests can access WiFi in this space, too.
Evenings are spectacular with a campfire roaring just in front of the main tent, chairs arranged in a semicircle, and a bright night sky glowing above. There is a small library of books for guests to use during their stay and listening to stories of your Maasai attendants or a visit to a nearby community is a wonderful addition to your experience at Lemala Ngorongoro. The tents are spacious and comfortable, a cozy en-suite in classic African decor and offer a wonderful night of ‘glamping’ near the Crater.
Location
The Lemala Ngorongoro is located near the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and a 15-minute drive to the Crater’s entrance gate. The flight from Arusha to Lake Manyara Airstrip is a 30-minute flight, where guests will be met and transferred by road on a 75-minute drive to the Camp. The drive from Arusha will take approximately four hours and 15 minutes.
Rooms / Tents
There are 10 Luxury Tented Suites set up at Lemala Ngorongoro and can be set up with a king bed or two queen size beds, and a Family Suite which comprises two bedrooms with two queen beds in each. All Tents are beautifully decorated with subtle African touches, with the added touch of warmth given each night in the form of a hot water bottle.
Colorful floor rugs contrast the neutral canvas colors, a writing desk and chair, and a gas heater for those chilly nights. There is a small sitting area and a safe is installed for guests to store their valuables during their stay. There is a space for hanging clothes and a small sitting area and the option of room service and laundry services is available.
The entire Camp is solar-heated so when it is time to have a refreshing shower, a bucket system is in place where hot water will be provided with enough water for a quick shower. The bathrooms also have a vanity and flush toilet plus a small selection of bathroom amenities for guests to use during their stay. Maasai attendants will wake guests up early with their hot beverage of choice, the perfect way to start a day on safari.

Game Viewing / Activities
Spending a full day in the incredible Ngorongoro Crater is almost surreal, the chance to spend time searching for and enjoying sightings of animals such as elephants, giraffes, lions, and rhinos, to name a few. Birdlife is wonderful and taking time out to enjoy a packed lunch under an Acacia tree, immersed in a breathtaking wilderness, is an exceptional experience.
Guests can indulge in a guided forest walk around the camp or enjoy a cultural visit to a Hadzabe bushmen community close by. The Olduvai Gorge, Lake Manyara, Empakai Crater, and Maasai Markets are not too far away and other activities guests can enjoy.
