Lemala Camp Ngorongoro is an intimate seasonal camp set in a delightful ancient acacia forest filled with sounds of wildlife, birds and the bells of Maasai cattle on the rim of the crater next to the quiet Lemala access route. It has an advantage over other accommodation in the area as they have quick and easy access into the crater which maximizes game viewing and avoids the morning crater traffic. Game viewing from the camp can start as early as 6.15am and it only takes 15 minutes to descend to the crater floor - the scenery is stunning and the wildlife abundant. Very often game drives are taken in solitude for nearly 2 hours in the best morning light before the traffic builds up. Guests at Lemala enjoy longer and significantly higher quality game drives. The camp offers great allure and luxury in a delightful prime location.  It is perhaps the most intimate way to experience the crater's splendors.
