The ultimate crater experience, Entamanu Ngorongoro is a luxury safari camp with views that will take even the most discerning traveler’s breath away.

A truly remarkable geological feature in Tanzania, the Ngorongoro Crater and surrounding Highlands offer an unparalleled wildlife experience for safari enthusiasts. The sunken caldera is the largest in the world and is home to over 20,000 mammals including lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, elephant and rhino.
There are no lodges on the crater floor, but the Ngorongoro Highlands (3000 feet above the crater floor), offer quick access to the park at dawn, ensuring a more private experience of this wildlife mecca.

The journey to Entamanu Ngorongoro is an experience in itself. The closest airstrip is Manyara Airstrip, a 2 hour road transfer from the lodge. For clients traveling with Ker & Downey® Africa, we like to arrange a game drive in Lake Manyara National Park with a picnic lunch on arrival.
