Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp: Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp located?
It is set in the Lemala Forest on the eastern side of the Ngorongoro Crater, close to the Lemala crater-access road that leads down toward the crater floor.
What kind of accommodation is Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp?
It is a luxury tented camp with 10 tents, tucked into the Lemala Forest on the crater's eastern side and reached via the Lemala crater-access road.
Why stay on the eastern side of the Ngorongoro Crater instead of the western rim?
The camp's eastern position near the Lemala access road lets guests begin early-morning game drives with roughly an hour's head start over lodges on the busier western rim.
Can guests do early morning game drives down into the crater from this camp?
Yes. Its location on the Lemala crater-access road on the eastern side means early-morning game drives get a head start of about an hour compared with lodges on the busier western rim.
Is the camp inside the Ngorongoro Crater itself?
No. It sits in the Lemala Forest on the eastern side of the crater near the Lemala crater-access road, so guests sleep outside the crater and descend into it for game drives.
