Karibu Lion's Paw Camp
Karibu Lion's Paw Camp is a tented camp on the eastern rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, run by Karibu Camps and Lodges. It is about ten minutes' drive from the crater descent road, so early starts on the crater floor are easy. Tents have full en-suite bathrooms and private verandas. Meals are served in a wood-and-glass dining room or out on the terrace, and short walks along the rim can be arranged.

Karibu Lion's Paw Camp: Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Karibu Lion's Paw Camp located?
Karibu Lion's Paw Camp sits on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater in northern Tanzania, with views roughly 600 metres down into the caldera. That rim position puts guests close to the crater descent points while keeping them above the busy crater floor.
What are the tents at Karibu Lion's Paw Camp like?
The camp is a luxury tented property with spacious tents that include full en-suite bathrooms, plush bedding and private verandas. The verandas face out over the crater, so the 600-metre view into the caldera is part of the accommodation itself.
Can I go down into the Ngorongoro Crater from the camp?
Yes. Karibu Lion's Paw Camp arranges crater descent excursions, and the camp works with expert Maasai guides for those outings. Ecological Wilderness Adventure can build the crater game drive into a tailored itinerary around your stay.
