About This Accommodation

Embalakai Ngorongoro Camp is a comfortable tented camp located inside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, close to the Elerai River and traditional Maasai communities. Its location makes it a practical base for travellers visiting the Ngorongoro Crater and exploring the surrounding highland landscapes.

The camp has only ten spacious guest tents, creating a quiet and personal atmosphere. Each tent is designed to combine the feeling of sleeping close to nature with modern comfort. Accommodation includes king size or twin beds, a private ensuite bathroom, and essential amenities for a relaxed stay after a full day of safari activities.

Guests can enjoy meals at the onsite restaurant, relax in the lounge, or spend the evening around the campfire sharing stories from the day. The sunset deck offers views across the acacia covered landscape and is a pleasant place to enjoy a drink before dinner.

Activities may include game drives in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, visits to nearby Maasai communities, and guided nature experiences. The area is known for elephants, lions, buffaloes, rhinos, zebras, wildebeest, and many other animals, although wildlife sightings always depend on the season and daily movement of the animals.

The camp also offers WiFi, room service, a bar, guided excursions, and reception assistance. Its intimate size, natural setting, and convenient location make it suitable for couples, families, and safari travellers looking for a comfortable mid range stay near the Ngorongoro Crater.

We recommend Embalakai Ngorongoro Camp for guests who want a peaceful tented camp experience with good access to Ngorongoro wildlife areas, warm hospitality, and a closer connection to the surrounding landscape and local culture.

Real expertise doesn’t come from a few trips to Africa. All our specialists have either been guides, run the camps, or grown up and lived in Africa. That’s over 50 years of genuine safari experience.

Tanzania - Safari - Experience

An unforgettable safari – thank you, Laurent and Praygod! We booked a nine-day private safari with Tanzania Safari Experience and could not have been happier. From the very first message to the end of our trip, we felt incredibly well looked after. Planning everything with Laurent was a pleasure. We had plenty of questions, and he always replied so quickly, with friendly, detailed and helpful answers. He listened to our wishes and made the whole process feel easy and reassuring. Our guide, Praygod, made the experience truly special. He was such a pleasant person to spend our days with: knowledgeable, well organised and always happy to share insights about the animals and the Serengeti. We could really tell how much effort he put into making every day memorable. Laurent’s recommendation to spend an extra night in the northern Serengeti also worked out wonderfully for us. We enjoyed so many amazing wildlife sightings, and on our final safari day we experienced the most emotional highlight of all: a river crossing at the Mara River! It was an extraordinary moment and the perfect finale to our safari. Our camps and lodges deserve a special mention as well. All the places we stayed were excellent, with lovely rooms / tents and very comfortable beds. The food was delicious throughout the trip and even the packed lunches on our game drives were great. We felt very well looked after at every stop. Thank you, Laurent and Praygod, for the wonderful memories. For us, this safari was perfect, and we would happily book with Tanzania Safari Experience again!

We had Kunda as a guide and what can I say? He was so devoted to his job, we loved every second, he has such big knowledge of the wilderness in Tanzania and beyond and he always added the right touch of irony to keep us laughing during the 5 day safari with him! Totally recommend, thanks a million Kunda 🙏 Also, during our planning and booking we asked sooooo many questions to Laurent and he was always there to support us with our interrogations and make the best to make our dream vacation as true as it could be. Thank you for everything guys! You did really an awesome job and we will remember this trip for a lifetime 🤗
