Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp

The Ang’ata Ngorongoro camp is on the Eastern side of the Ngorongoro Crater’s rim, close to the Crater Lodge. Just inside the park boundaries, our location permits early game drives down to the Crater, leaving you almost alone to discover this World Heritage Site. Up to 25.000 animals call the Crater their home, except for the Maasai Giraffes, who cannot cope with the Crater’s steep slopes. The primary and most elusive attraction is the 23 Black Rhinoceroses that live inside the Crater, which may be the only chance to see them in the wild. Massai Bomas are a few kilometres away for those wishing to meet the Maasai.

AROUND THE CAMP

From Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp, you can easily reach Empakaai Crater in a day’s Hike, visit a Maasai Village, go donkey riding with the locals, walk on the rim of the Crater accompanied by an armed Ranger or have a Bush Lunch on the Crater Floor. You can also celebrate your wedding or vow renewal in traditional Maasai style in your private camp—all activities will be booked in advance via our reservations officer. Please get in touch with us for pricing and details.

The Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact and unfilled volcanic caldera and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area’s main tourist attraction. It is the most enormous and scenic Crater in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with a large concentration of wildlife. It is also one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders due to its breathtaking natural features. The Ngorongoro Crater is known as a home to over 25,000 animals, including the big five: elephants, buffaloes, rhinos, lions and leopards.

Other animals found in this Crater include hippos, hyenas, warthogs, zebras, elands, gazelles, and wildebeests, to name a few. This makes Ngorongoro Crater probably the best site in Tanzania to spot and watch the Big Five and other wild species more easily.
