ENTAMANU PRIVATE – NGORONGORO CRATER
Entamanu Private is a private highland retreat overlooking the Ngorongoro Crater where you can enjoy and appreciate the stunning scenery of the Ngorongoro Crater on your own terms and schedule. The camp is designed to be entirely removable with minimal impact on the environment. This is your exclusive Crater experience.
There’s nothing tame about this location – the high-altitude sun has some real heat and the wind can be biting and sometimes noisy. Nomad Tanzania have taken up the challenge to create a camp that makes the most of the extraordinary view while providing warmth and shelter from the elements and at the same time being entirely removable. Every design detail has been considered in light of this while still providing comfort in this elemental place.
LOCATION
Entamanu Private is set on the Ngorongoro Crater rim within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in northern Tanzania.
CAMP
There are two timber, glass and stretched-canvas rooms overlooking the iconic Ngorongoro Crater. Each room has gas stove heaters, a veranda with a view over the Ngorongoro Crater and ensuite bathroom facilities.
Two family units made up of two bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The two bedrooms are connected through the bathrooms and have gas stove heaters, verandas with views over the Crater, and ensuite bathroom facilities.
ACTIVITIES
Ngorongoro Crater game drives – big highlight of any stay here – the Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations. The beauty of Entamanu Private is that it sits within the Conservation area and only 30 minutes’ drive from the descent road into the Crater. An early start is highly recommended to enjoy the Crater before the majority of visitors make it in from other camps. You will set off with your guide and a packed breakfast and return to camp in time for lunch. Or, head out in the afternoon and enjoy sundowners on the rim on your way back to camp.
Guided walks – Entamanu Private offers guided walks along the rim of the Crater and in the surrounding highlands. You will head out with your guide and a member of the local Maasai community and learn all about medicinal plants, Maasai beliefs, as well as track any local wildlife that has wondered close to camp. Walks are all about soaking up the view at a slower pace and learning to appreciate the little things and they come highly recommended. Walks at Entamanu need to be pre-booked.
Into the Boma – visit local Maasai who are living a largely traditional life in the boma in the next valley and still grazing their cattle in the conservation area. Enjoy a warm welcome with insights into the pastoral life – from building huts to warrior ceremonies.
