NyEmbalakai Ngorongoro Camp
Less than an hour from the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania
About the stay
Why we use it
A camp in the Ngorongoro highlands, used for the night between the Serengeti and the crater.
On our longer lodge safaris we stop here on the way back from the Serengeti, so the drive to the crater the next morning is short.
Ask us for current photos and room types for your dates, and we’ll tell you honestly how it compares with the other crater camps.
Between two parks
Breaks the drive from the Serengeti to the crater.
Tented camp
Canvas rooms in the highlands.

FAQs
Can I add NyEmbalakai Ngorongoro 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 NyEmbalakai Ngorongoro 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.
