Entamanu Ngorongoro is a tented lodge perched on top of a ridge on the north-west side of the Ngorongoro Crater with views into the crater.
Entamanu is an exclusive tented lodge which offers a warm welcome, good food and service and an all round high quality experience. The accommodation tents are spacious and very comfortable. However the best thing about Entamanu is its location. Firstly, it is the only boutique camp which is located on the crater rim which actually has views of the crater. Secondly, being located just 30 minutes drive from the main entrance to the crater, it is possible to be one of the first into the crater which can really make a difference to your experience as the crater gets busy very quickly in the mornings. Thirdly, it is possible to undertake walks and visit a local Maasai Manyatta which offers an insight to local life in the highlands. The one drawback of the location is the exposure to wind, and the tents can get a little noisy on windy nights. Overall, Entamanu is ideal if you are looking for a small, exclusive, personal, high quality camp which gives you the best possible Ngorongoro Crater experience.
