Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp

🌍 Tanzania

📍 Ngorongoro Crater

Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp is a rim-side tented camp prized by photographers and wildlife purists for very early crater access and intimate hosting.

Pricing: typically $780–$845 per double in high season; around $470–$510 in low season (Mar–May).

Who it appeals to: Guests who prefer canvas, campfire evenings and personal hosting over masonry and marble. If you’re weighing options, consider Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp — similar rim access with a different style; or Kitela Lodge — Karatu base for better value (mid/upper-mid tier).

Safari context: On/near the rim, you’ll reach the floor within 10–20 minutes of gate opening and be positioned for dawn predator activity.
