Layout

A private road running along the rim of the crater leads to the camp, well away from other camps.
Here, the pace is “slow safari”. Time is taken to observe and appreciate.
It comprises ten superb cottages, including 3 spacious family units, understated, elegant and highly comfortable.
A warm communal area offers a lounge with fireplace and a dedicated dining room.

Nights at the top of the crater are cool. Bring warm clothing for evenings and mornings (especially from June to September, when it can be windy). These temperatures make for evenings fully enjoyed by the fire.

For your children

Children aged 8 and above are welcome. Two family units are available, each with two large bedrooms and a shared adjoining bathroom.

Rooms

Entamanu Ngorongoro offers a total of seven double cottages, carefully furnished and providing comfortable accommodation for couples or solo travellers.
The lodge also has three family units, each comprising two full bedrooms and a shared bathroom, ideal for families wishing to stay together.
Every detail has been carefully considered. Luxury and authenticity define the tents’ décor. Decorative pieces are handmade by Tanzanian artisans, with a consistent focus on ethically sourced materials.
All bathrooms are equipped with a bathtub, flush toilet, double basin and hot and cold running water.

Activities offered

Entamanu Ngorongoro offers a wide range of activities, agreed upon on arrival with your guide (if you are on the Game Package, meaning with the lodge’s English-speaking guide in a shared 4x4, 6 people maximum), depending on your preferences and the options available.
Exclusive activities include guided safaris into the crater, cultural visits with Maasai communities, and walks across the volcanic highlands. Entamanu Ngorongoro continues to stand out for its harmony with nature and cultural immersion, offering guests an authentic, environmentally respectful form of luxury.

Available activities include:
- Guided walks (children only from age 12) around the camp, along the crater rim (Game Package only)
- Visits with the Maasai communities living nearby. You can reach an isolated village (visited only by guests of the camp) by 4x4, followed by a 10-minute walk.
It is also possible to walk there directly from the camp (2h30 to 3 hours of walking, Game Package only).
They lead a largely traditional life in the boma of the neighbouring valley and still graze their cattle within the conservation area. It will be just you and them, with a warm welcome and glimpses of pastoral life, from hut building to warrior ceremonies.
- Sundowners, included in the Game Package

For longer stays, additional activities can be arranged in advance:
Bush breakfasts
Visit to the Olduvai Museum
2 to 6-hour walks
Visit to the Empakai volcanic crater
