Location and surroundings
Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp is located within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, just a few minutes’ drive from the descent into the Ngorongoro Crater. This means you stay right inside the conservation area and are down in the crater early in the morning, when the light is good and the animals are active. The camp lies directly behind the Lemala Gate; it is about an hour’s drive to the Lake Manyara Airstrip. The surroundings are open grassland with bush, and wildlife is regularly spotted right by the camp.
If you are looking for other accommodation in this region, you can find further camps and lodges around the crater on the Ngorongoro lodges overview page.
Rooms and facilities
You stay in one of eight guest tents, including a two-tent family unit for families or small groups. Each tent has proper beds, a private bathroom and simple, functional furnishings. These include a small seating area and a veranda with views of the surrounding bush. In the central communal tent you will find the lounge and the dining area, where the full-board meals are served. In the evening you meet the other guests in the open area of the communal tent.
