There is surely no truer way to appreciate the magnitude and wonder of the Ngorongoro Crater, than from Entamanu Private where it’s done entirely on your own terms and schedules. A highland retreat designed to be entirely removable with minimal impact on this precious place, this is your exclusive Crater experience.
On the remote North Western edge of the Ngorongoro Crater rim, to the left of Entamanu Ngorongoro, just beyond the Seneto descent road, approached along a private access road.

Entamanu Private 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 Private has four rooms elevated on wooden platforms, with two family rooms made up of two full size rooms each with their own bathroom. Each room is constructed using wood, glass and stretched canvas and 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 Private 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.
Game drives into the Crater, explorations of the surrounding highlands, guided walks, bush picnics and sundowners. Maasai interactions with neighbouring communities. Please see our Activities Fact sheet for more details.
Children of 5 and above at Entamanu Private when booked on exclusive basis, although only children over 12 are permitted to go out on guided walks.
Regular schedule flights from Arusha/Dar/Zanzibar and other areas of Tanzania, to Manyara Airstrip which is around 2hrs road transfer to camp. Entamanu Private is also easy driving distance from Arusha, Tarangire, Karatu and southern Serengeti so perfectly placed for inclusions in a driven northern Tanzania itinerary.
