Lemala Ngorongoro is intimately set in a delightful ancient acacia forest close to the rim of the magnificent Crater.
Lemala Ngorongoro is intimately set in a delightful ancient acacia forest close to the rim of the magnificent Crater. As it is located next to the quiet Lemala crater access road on the eastern side, a key advantage of staying at Lemala Ngorongoro is the quick and easy drive down onto the crater floor in the morning; Lemala guests usually have an hour’s head start over others descending via the far busier Seneto crater access road on the western rim. And of course can stay later in the afternoon before returning to camp. As Africa’s game is most active in the early morning and late afternoon, this means better wildlife experiences for Lemala guests.
