Entamanu Ngorongoro is a stylish and comfortable tented camp offering unrivaled views of both the Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti. An intimate and consciously constructed camp, Entamanu Ngorongoro is perched on the north western edge of the crater.
Highlights
Opened 2016
The only place where guests can enjoy views both into the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti
Open year round
Six bedroom camp designed to create minimum impact on this extraordinary site
The most recent addition to Nomad Tanzania's collection of camps, Entamanu Ngorongoro opened in August 2016. Inspired by the crater, its name means "circle" in Maa (dialect of the Maasai people) and is a remarkable option on its periphery. Affording superlative views into the 3000ft deep crater and across the Serengeti, its off-the-beaten-track location is perfect for watching the sun rise and set over Northern Tanzania.
With only six luxury tents (two with options for families), the camp offers an outstanding setting and a completely removable structure meaning minimum impact on this unique location. However Entamanu Ngorongoro does not compromise on elegance and comfort (flushing loos, hot and cold running water and indoor heating).
A year round camp, Entamanu Ngorongoro is ideally located for game drives into the crater in search of the Big 5, guided walks through the surrounding highlands, interactions with neighboring Maasai communities and relaxing bush picnics. Excellent and experienced guides are on hand to teach guests about this breath-taking landscape and its fantastic culture.
The camp is only 2 hours from Manyara Airstrip, driving distance from Arusha and would combine perfectly with other camps in the Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks.

Hot air ballooning over the Serengeti
Soar over the Serengeti's savannah plains in a hot air balloon at dawn, watching wildlife beneath you & finishing with a champagne bush breakfast.
Walking safari from Lamai
Lamai is one of very few camps in the Serengeti which is permitted to offer walking safaris. This is a superb way to explore this rugged area, setting off on foot from the camp in the morning light.
Search for the migration herds
One of Africa's most iconic moments - the migration of two million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles around the Serengeti-Maasai Mara ecosystem.
Walk to the Ngorongoro Crater Rim
Head off on an adventurous walk to the Ngorongoro Crater Rim guided by a naturalist and rangers from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Wildlife in the Tarangire
Tarangire is second only to the Serengeti for the concentration of game. It's an area of big breeding herds of elephant and buffalo. Huge baobabs provide shade for sleeping lion and night drives give the opportunity to see elusive leopard on the prowl.
Night Drives in the Tarangire
Night drives are an experience which is not permitted in many of the national parks of Tanzania. In the Tarangire, however, you can head out with your guide, searching the inky dark with a spotlight. This is when the drama ramps up in the African bush.
Flamingo Watching on Lake Manyara
Harder to predict than the Great Migration, the Flamingo migration is equally incredible to witness as they descend on Lake Manyara in their thousands. An amazing photo opportunity or simply the chance to witness these spectacular birds in their element.
Ngorongoro Crater game drive
Explore the dormant volcanic caldera of the Ngorongoro Crater in a safari vehicle - this is a unique location for a game drive and the dramatic scenery really adds to the magic.
