Here, we define our own Ngorongoro, off the beaten track, in Maasai territory. Following one of the world’s most stunning private drives, we bring you up to a dizzying edge of elemental Africa with panoramic views spinning forward into the Crater and back to the Serengeti plains. This is much more than a great vantage point for visiting the Crater, this is where we live the Ngorongoro life.
On the remote North Western edge of the Ngorongoro Crater rim, just beyond the Seneto descent road, approached along a private access road.

Entamanu Ngorongoro is open all year round.
Our camp is uniquely off the beaten track but right on the Crater rim, and has exceptional views both down into Ngorongoro Crater from one side (sunrise), and out over the Serengeti from the other (perfect for sundowners). Prepare for a hot high-altitude sun, cold nights, and a wind which can be strong (warm clothes are a must year round!). This is the wild side of the Crater where the exclusivity and views are unsurpassed.
Entamanu Ngorongoro has seven canvas rooms elevated on wooden platforms, with two family rooms made up of two full size rooms and a shared bathroom. Each room has indoor heating and en-suite bathrooms with hot and cold running water, and flush loos. Every effort has been made to create comfort in this elemental place.
Entamanu Ngorongoro (meaning ‘circle’ in Maa) is the only place in the world where you can enjoy views into both the Crater and the Serengeti. Offering an unspoilt, unparalleled experience of the Crater, and the land and culture that surrounds it. It is a place to escape to, from which to learn and understand where the Crater fits as part of the wider environment.
