Nduara camp
was designed to
celebrate nomadic
cultures around the
world - the Mongolian Gers or Yurts, the
Navajo tepees and our
own Maasai bomas. The
outcome of this heady
mix of culture, style,
comfort and wilderness,
is the most amazing camp
you will ever see.
The 12 bed 'yurt' camp
moves between north and
south Loliondo to give
you the best of what
this stunning area has
to offer. Although the
Serengeti park
boundaries officially
define the Serengeti
itself, the ecosystem
goes way beyond and
encompasses all of the Loliondo area. The
landscape and game
viewing is spectacular,
with lots of resident
game and stunning
private campsites which
highlight the beauty and
amazing diversity of
this area.
From December to June,
the camp is located in
the open plains of
Piyaya and partners with
the village community.
This area is bordered by
the Serengeti National
Park,
Ngorongoro
Conservation Area, Gol
Mountains, and Sanjan
Gorge. Here, resident
game is excellent, and
the migration will
periodically pass
through the area. From
mid-June to December the
camp partners with the
Ololosokwan village
community in the north
Loliondo area. Bordering
Kenya's Masai Mara to
the north and the
Serengeti National Park
to the west, this area
also offers a great mix
of resident game, and is
excellent walking
country with a dramatic
scenery of rock kopjes
and woodlands.
The emphasis in both
these areas is on
walking safaris and
night drives and also on
cultural visits with the Maasai.
The camp consists of six
large yurts, with a
dining yurt, and
separate lounge/library
yurt. Each accommodation
yurt has its own
en-suite bathroom
attached to the back of
the main sleeping area,
with traditional safari
bucket showers and new
compost style toilet
system.
The yurts have been
designed to be as cool
as possible during the
day, and have
wrap-around shade net
windows with flaps that
can be rolled up or
down. There is also a
traditional open 'wheel'
in the centre of the
roof (in Mongolian gers
this is where the
chimney of the fireplace
would be located). This
helps to keep the yurt
feeling open and airy.
There is a canvas 'cap'
that covers the wheel at
night, or in bad
weather.
