Crater Forest Tented Camp

Crater Forest Tented Camp is located near Karatu, close to the Ngorongoro Crater. Lying in a coffee plantation, this small eco-friendly camp offers fantastic views over the Ngorongoro highlands.

The Ngorongoro Crater is a world-class safari attraction, and it is no wonder that it is on many peoples wish list of places to see and visit. Within the rim there are an estimated 30,000 animals, making this one of the densest concentration of wildlife within Africa.

Large herds of zebra graze on the grasslands that cover the crater floor, alongside wildebeest, gazelle, eland and buffalo. Family herds of elephants meander through the crater floor forests, pulling down foliage and branches for food. River swamps and marshes are home to waterbuck and hippo, and are also visited by the occasional prowling leopard. Denser forests line the crater walls, offering thick cover for the shyer bushbuck and a small population of rare and endangered black rhino.

The 15 rooms are spacious and all have en-suite bathrooms with hot showers and toilets. For those chilly winter nights enjoy the warmth of your own African-style fire pot.

Enjoy romantic sundowners or twilight dinners on your veranda with the astonishing landscape views of the dense forest. As you drift off to sleep, listen to the lions roaring in the distance and the other magical sounds of the tropical night. It will be an experience you will never forget.
