Ngedere Lodge & Camp
Between Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania
About the stay
Why we use it
A budget lodge on the road between Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Ngedere Lodge & Camp is a budget lodge one to two hours’ drive from both Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater. Guests reach it after climbing out of the crater at the end of the day.
It’s the budget lodge we use most on these trips, a step up from camping without the lodge price.
Budget-friendly
A bed and a roof on a camping budget.
Between two parks
Tarangire and the crater are both within reach.

FAQs
Can I add Ngedere Lodge & Camp to a different safari?
Usually, yes, as long as the safari passes through Ngorongoro & Karatu. Tell us which safari you like and we'll send the price with Ngedere Lodge & Camp in it.
Can I stay an extra night?
Yes. An extra night gives you a full day of game drives without packing up. We'll add the night, the extra park day and the meals to your quote.
What happens if it's full on my dates?
We tell you before you pay anything, and suggest the closest match in the same area and price range.
Is it suitable for children?
Tell us your children's ages and we'll check the property's rules for your dates. Some camps set a minimum age.
How do I pay?
Nothing is paid until you're happy with the quote. Then a deposit holds the safari: 20% for camping safaris, 40% for lodge safaris.
