Lion’s Paw Camp

Lion’s Paw Camp rests upon the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater’s eastern side, offering a blend of luxury and relaxation in one of Tanzania’s most iconic sites. Being so close to the entrance gates means guests have early access to witnessing the magnificence of the wildlife roaming the Crater floor.

From the lounge area of the main Camp and the large surrounding deck, views over Lake Magadi are spectacular, with guests being able to enjoy a beverage of choice from the friendly bar while they marvel at the landscape before them. Comfortable fabric chairs complement the dark wooden flooring and the fair-sized bar stands elegantly in one corner.

When it comes to meals, guests have a choice, with the option to enjoy a fine dining experience in the evening, or perhaps dine under the stars or even in the privacy of their room. The end of the night is special with a chance for guests to sit around a crackling bonfire and share stories of their day’s adventure.
