This tented mobile camp comes with a personal and welcoming service. The friendly and English speaking Maasai employees, wearing their traditional dresses, contribute to the local touch of the camp. Compared to the other camps we know (i.e. in the Serengeti), the infrastructure is a slightly simpler (e. g. unheated toilets, shower). During night, the outside temperature can be surprisingly...

We really enjoyed our stay at Lemala Ngorogoro over Christmas. The staff were very friendly and keen to help in any way. The tents were comfortable and staff worked hard to manage the limited resources well. More

This was the second Lemala Camp that we stayed at during our safari in September 2011. My wife and I were impressed. That both camps were great told us that the others are probably nice, too. We had a wonderful game drive through the Ngorongoro crater. We saw the rare and elusive Black Rhino (mother and calf), as well as... More

In all honesty, we had a fairly dissapointing game drive in the crater and were a little down when we arrived here. We were greeted warmly by the manager with juice and hot towels. He went through the check-in and then we were shown to our tent. It was great...a big comfy bed...a nicely appointed bathroom and a nice area... More

We were on our honeymoon and this was the first camp in our trip. The camp is located on the ridge of the Ngorongoro crater away from most of the other camps. As we arrived in the evening, we were escorted to our tent - you need an escort when it is dark because there is wildlife everywhere. The tent... More

I stayed at Lemala Ngorongoro while on Safari in July of this year (I thought I'd already posted the review). This camp was amazing. The tents were nicely decorated and very clean. The overall accomodations were lovely and created the feel of a "real safari" experience. The meals were plentiful and delicious...I'm still amazed by how much they produce in... More

Lemala camps are rustic but comfortable. This one allows rapid access to the crater so facilitates crater drives earlier than those folks staying on the rim. The facilities are not luxurious but are quite adequate. The staff is extremely friendly and service is excellent. The food is adequate but not great. Meats in Tanzania are usually like shoe leather if... More

Aug 29, 2011 This was our very first introduction to a seasonal, luxury, tented camp. We couldn't have asked for a finer reception from the hard-working staff who fulfilled our every wish. Given that this camp is fully self-sufficient with limited electrical output, it is extraordinary that it can maintain its high standards to the 9 rooms and common areas.... More

This was one of three Lemala Camps that we stayed at, albeit for a short time (arrived 6:00 pm, departed 7:00 am). The stand out here is the very friendly and competent staff. Beginning with our very friendly welcome and check-in, speedy service in turning on propane heater in tent and filling bucket shower for two, great campfire complete with... More
