What to Expect on an African Safari

The Places You'll Stay on an African Safari in Tanzania

Ngorongoro Crater is a massive volcanic caldera, formed over two million years ago when a colossal volcano erupted and collapsed upon itself. What remains today is a natural amphitheater of unparalleled beauty, spanning approximately 260 square kilometers and boasting an astonishing diversity of wildlife. Renowned as one of Africa's most spectacular natural wonders, the Ngorongoro Crater is a haven for both animal and plant life. As you descend into the crater's bowl-shaped expanse, you will be greeted by a mesmerizing panorama of grasslands, forests, and shimmering soda lakes. Within the confines of the crater, you will encounter a thriving ecosystem that supports an impressive population of mammals, including the iconic "Big Five". 

While the Ngorongoro Crater is considered a safe destination for tourists, visitors should take standard travel health precautions. Vaccinations for yellow fever, hepatitis A, and typhoid are recommended. Malaria prophylaxis is also advised due to the presence of mosquitoes, especially during the wet season.

Safety & Vaccinations

The Ngorongoro Crater is accessible by road from Arusha, with the journey taking approximately 3-4 hours. It's also possible to fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport or Lake Manyara Airport and arrange a transfer from there.

Getting There

Travel within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and down into the crater is typically done in 4x4 vehicles. These vehicles are suited for the rugged terrain and offer the best opportunities for wildlife viewing. Guided tours are recommended to navigate the area effectively and to learn more about the ecosystem.

Getting Around

Visitors to Tanzania, including those coming to see the Ngorongoro Crater, must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) in advance, with some exemptions based on nationality. Always check the latest visa requirements and ensure you have the necessary documentation for entry, including any required health certificates.

Visas

This was amazing to see. We visited last fall and saw so many animals with our tour guide. The drive down into the crater and back out was awesome, so was the view from the top. We definitely saw the circle of life when we came and it did not disappoint, so cool!

One of the seven great wonders of the world. Steep drive in and out. I’m glad I had a driver. Lots of wildlife everywhere! Cape buffalo, elephants, rhino, springbok, zebras, flamingo, wart hogs and great views of the crater!

Wonderful day spent in the crater. So vast and luscious in December. Lots of zebra and wildebeest, as well as flamingo and we also saw a hippo and rhinos and elephants. Nice picnic spot but lots of lurks birds who will try to take your lunch!

This is such a special and beautiful place. Cannot imagine how much wildlife there are in this area. The landscape was stunning as well.

Ngorongoro National Park is truly a remarkable place for a safari adventure. During my day trip there, I was greeted with fantastic weather and an incredible ambiance that set the stage for an unforgettable experience. The park boasts an abundance of wildlife, and it's almost as if it's a haven, a slice of magic and heaven, for these animals.

What makes Ngorongoro so special is the concentration of resources in one place. This unique ecosystem supports a diverse range of species, from majestic lions and graceful zebras to curious giraffes and elusive cheetahs. The sight of these animals in their natural habitat is a mesmerizing spectacle, and it's evident that they thrive in this environment.

Exploring Ngorongoro National Park is like stepping into a different world, one where you can witness the beauty of nature and the circle of life up close. Whether you're an avid wildlife enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates the wonder of the natural world, a visit to Ngorongoro is an experience that will stay with you forever. It's a testament to the importance of preserving such extraordinary places for future generations to enjoy.

The camp is accessible by road from various locations in Tanzania, including Arusha. It is approximately a 3 to 4-hour drive from Arusha, and the camp can arrange transfers.

The nearest airstrip to Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp is Manyara Airstrip, which is approximately a 75-minute drive away. Guests can arrange flights to Manyara Airstrip from major airports in Tanzania, such as Kilimanjaro International Airport and Arusha Airport, or even from other safari destinations in the region. The camp can provide transfers from Manyara Airstrip to the lodge.

Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp

This is a nice camp. The food and service were great. The location is perfect if you want to get to the crater before it gets busy. The rooms are very comfortable but fairly dark at night. You also need to go to the main tent to charge any devices, and the camp does not have much community space.

The most comfortable camping experience I could have hoped for! Incredibly immersed in the crater highlands. Excellent attentive staff.

Really great location, superb food, amazingly friendly and welcoming staff. I was traveling alone and I felt safe and taken care of at every moment. Emanuele and all the staff always welcomed me with big smiles, drinks, the food was amazing and I got to meet wonderful people. The bucket shower is not a big deal once you learn how it goes. Even though you don't have plugs in the room they offer room specific ones in the shared area, I found being 'off the grid' for some hours a day pretty great. I loved everything about this camp and would recommend it!

While the location and staff are great, this was our least favourite camp of all we stayed in during our safari trip in Tanzania. There seems to be a lack of consistency among Lemala camps because we stayed in their other locations as well and none were like this one. Our tent hadn’t been cleaned properly and was rather dark inside. The food was not particularly good either. Also something not particularly related to this camp, but all Lemala camps is that there’s no possibility to charge a phone/camera in the tent. Much cheaper camps did have this option.

We cannot recommend Lemala Ngorongoro Crater Camp enough! The views were absolutely incredible — tucked away in a flat top acacia forest. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly — especially Alios who is our favorite human on the planet! The food was spectacular. The camp is located on the rim of the crater so you get an hour+ head start of the other lodges/hotels in the area. Our game driver Frank was super fun and knowledgeable. A perfect ending to a lovely trip to Tanzania. We will definitely be back and recommend to any travelers (from 2 young women).

The camp operates on 24-hour solar electricity with a backup generator, providing convenience and comfort.

Ngorongoro Farm House

Beautiful place to stay when visiting the Ngorongoro crater. With the beautiful gardens where they plant most of the food that is served it's a nice change from the more standard lodges. The staff was very friendly (shout-out to Contantin and Benjamin). Driving distance to the Ngorongoro view point is about 20 minutes and another 20 minutes from there into the crater.

Absolutely amazing place! We really loved it. Very kind and helpful staff always receiving guests with a drink. The complex is huge as it is a coffee farm, it has swimming pool so people can relax after safari day, the main building includes main restaurant where we had breakfast and dinner, also it has a bar and a huge fire pit to relax during the night. Rooms are independent bungalows, our bungalow was one of the farthest but we really enjoyed to have a walk from main building to it, it was quite big with chimney.

Amazing stay at the farm house!Conveniently located by the Ngorongoro crater. Great service, a wonderful shower and all vegetables served came from their own lovely garden. Special thanks to Joshua for the great care.

BEAUTIFUL place with thoughtful architectural details. The room had basic coffee tea service as well as a water dispenser with cold and hot water. My only wish I that I could’ve stayed longer!

Staff are amazing. Coffee tour was impressive. Was very interesting to get to know the Iraqwu tribe that lives close to farmhouse. They give huge importance to education for the kids in their tribe.

Food in the restaurant - They use all the vegetables,  fruits and meat from their farm but food was just on satisfactory level. It could be more delicious. For example: Panna cotta with passion fruit did not have any sweet taste at all.

Room was good. Again staff was great.

Ideally located from the Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Farm House - Karatu

Chalet type bedrooms situated at ground level with a private terrace or balcony. Overlooking the gardens and/or coffee plantation. Ample and comfortable. Rooms with a double bed or two single beds. The rooms have a bathroom with a shower. The family room consists of two rooms with a door connecting the two rooms.

From the closest airstrip, Manyara Airstrip, it's approximately a two-hour drive to the lodge

 For those arriving by air, connections are primarily through Arusha Airport, with onward flights to Manyara Airstrip serving as the gateway to the camp

 In general, reaching Entamanu Ngorongoro combines both air and road travel, offering travelers a comprehensive glimpse of Tanzania's vast wilderness.

Entamanu Ngorongoro Camp

Nomad's Entamanu camp is a comfortable and accommodating place to take in the beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater.  To start, we had a change of plans where we wanted to see more of the Oldupai Gorge than originally planned - the staff was accommodating to bring us straight there on our drive in.  Our game drive guide Sylva was extremely knowledgeable and had great stories to share.  If you are interested in a hike and seeing a Maasai village, you can organize a tour on the rim through Nomad. We understood that our stay was in some recently renovated, more permanent cabins and these were cozy and welcoming.

We had a wonderful stay. Jonathan, and the staff, were warm and friendly. Our tent room was lovely and it had all the necessary amenities needed. We loved the coffee delivery through the "cubby window" in the morning!
Be forewarned that roads to/from the lodge to the crater are very bumpy and take 60-90 minutes one way. This wasn't an issue for us but could be for those with back issues.
Thank you, Camp Entamanu, for your warm hospitality!

Great staff, wonderful location, special memories

Apart from slight heating issues with the gas fireplace and controlling the shower temp Entamanu is very cosy and luxurious. You get a wake up call with coffee and cookies delivered to your room. The service is very good and food delicious. Make sure to have some pre dinner drinks in the lounge area or have your coffee watching the sunrise over Ngorongoro Crater. It's beautiful. Bring sweaters or a jacket. It's cold in the morning and evenings.

Entamanu is by far my favourite of all the places I have stayed on the crater rim. The staff are completely wonderful.

The only place in the world where guests can witness the sun rising over the Ngorongoro Crater and setting over the Serengeti Plains, offering unparalleled scenic beauty.

A unique construction that ensures minimal disruption to the pristine landscape, embodying a perfect blend of luxury and environmental responsibility.

Beyond the breathtaking wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater, the lodge offers genuine interactions with the local Maasai community, giving guests a rich cultural experience alongside their wildlife adventures.

Entamanu Ngorongoro

Experience the pinnacle of comfort and elegance at Entamanu Ngorongoro's luxurious tents. Every room, thoughtfully designed with an essence of the wild, offers panoramic vistas of the Ngorongoro Crater and the distant Serengeti Plains. The interiors seamlessly blend rustic charm with modern amenities, ensuring a serene retreat after a day of adventure. With warm, woolen rugs underfoot, remote-controlled heaters for those cooler nights, and an en-suite sanctuary equipped with all the conveniences, your stay promises to be as indulgent as it is immersive. Whether you're settling into a plush bed beneath a canopy of stars or waking up to the awe-inspiring sight of the sun painting the horizon, each moment in these tents is an intimate rendezvous with nature's grandeur.

Road vs Flight - The Journey from Arusha City to Serengeti Central

Arusha is a vibrant city in northern Tanzania, renowned as the safari capital due to its proximity to some of the world's most famous national parks and reserves, including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire National Park. Nestled at the foot of Mount Meru, Arusha's moderate climate and rich cultural heritage make it a fascinating destination in its own right. The city serves as a crucial hub for international and local tourists embarking on wildlife safaris and mountaineering adventures. Its bustling markets, colonial-era buildings, and local Maasai crafts offer a glimpse into the diverse cultures of Tanzania.

Arusha is generally safe for tourists, with usual precautions advised. Vaccinations for Yellow Fever, Hepatitis A, and Typhoid are recommended, alongside malaria prophylaxis.

The city is a major tourist hub, easily reachable by road from Nairobi or via flights to Kilimanjaro International Airport, followed by a short drive

It is well designed and the best place to be.
I love this Hotel.

Really nice hotel close to Arusha Downtown. Welcoming staff and good room (keep in mind that the Kilimanjaro International Airport is far from everything, so it will take you like 1h 20 min to get there)

A lovely place to stay with excellent service and facilities. The food is wonderful too. Great stop off spot before or after a Safari or even a great place to stay for a business trip. Highly recommend this Arusha spot.

This park is less frequented by tourists compared to Tanzania's larger national parks, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a serene wildlife viewing experience.

The park's close proximity to Arusha makes it a perfect day trip or the start of a northern circuit safari adventure.

The park is easily accessible by road from Arusha, with the option of using private transport or joining an organized tour. Kilimanjaro International Airport is the nearest international gateway, located about 60 km from Arusha town.

Within the park, travel is by 4x4 vehicles on game drives, on foot for guided walks, or by canoe on the Momella Lakes. Climbing Mount Meru also requires hiking.
