Camp

6 Tents

Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

What you'll love

The camp leaves few footprints thanks to its temporary nature, solar-powered lights and plastic-free policy.

Insiders tip

Giraffes don't appear anywhere in the crater, be sure to ask your guide why.

Something to think about

Fly camping taps into the simple side of life, so don't expect many luxuries. Although, hot showers are guaranteed!

The property

Set up in a secluded spot on the crater rim, the camp has six tents and a shared tented area. Inside the central tent, you'll find a bar cabinet and lounge area with cushioned benches and bean bags. Enjoy three-course meals under the stars, or in the cosy mess tent if the weather plays up. By the fire, sip on sundowners or steaming hot drinks as you exchange memories from the day.

The rooms

Split into two groups, the six domed canvas tents come with thick, foam double or twin beds covered in crisp linens and green blankets. Your private bathroom is found just outside the tent, and has a compost toilet and hot bush-bucket shower (very welcome after a day of exploring). Simple but functional, your tent also includes woven laundry baskets, rustic side tables and safari-style lamps.
