Lemala Luxury Camp Ngorongoro is a new and intimate seasonal tented camp, which offers comfortable and secluded accommodation just five minute’s drive from the main gate into the crater itself. Lemala Luxury Camp Ngorongoro  has a distinct advantage over the majority of camps at the Crater, in so much as it has immediate access to the low-traffic Lemala entry route into the Ngorongoro Crater.

Lemala Luxury Camp Ngorongoro’s guests can also enjoy optional nature walks near the camp or around Ol Moti or Empakaai which are not too far from the camp. Lemala Luxury Camp Ngorongoro offers nine spacious tent, each with a private timbered viewing deck and ensuite bathroom.
