Discover the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti plains

Perched on the wild and rugged rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, Entamanu is a thoughtfully designed safari escape that immerses guests in the untamed beauty of two of Tanzania’s most iconic landscapes.

This unique location offers more than just a vantage point to visit the Ngorongoro Crater—it provides an experience that allows guests to explore the broader highland environment, beyond the well-trodden tourist paths. Here, nestled amidst dormant volcanic peaks and the ebb and flow of Maasai pastoral life, Entamanu provides an intimate and immersive way to connect with both nature and culture in an elemental setting.

With seven large ensuites, cottage-style rooms, and three two-bedroom cottages, Entamanu combines luxurious comfort with a rustic sense of place. Each room is designed to keep guests warm and cozy, with heaters, rich textiles, and sheepskin throws to combat the cool, highland air. The interiors are handcrafted to the highest standards using local materials, enhancing the authenticity and charm of the experience. Every window opens up to breathtaking views across the Ngorongoro Crater, framed by ancient acacia trees, offering an unparalleled connection to this magnificent landscape.

What sets Entamanu apart is the sense of remoteness and connection to the environment. It’s not just a place to stay, but a destination that allows guests to experience the Ngorongoro Crater on their terms. From here, you can embark on early morning game drives into the crater, beating the crowds and enjoying a private, serene encounter with its vast array of wildlife. Spot Africa’s endangered black rhino, flocks of flamingos, and a variety of other creatures that call this World Heritage Site home. The proximity of Entamanu to the crater rim offers the perfect launching point for these adventures, with access to the crater at dawn, long before the arrival of the usual crowds.

What we love about Entamanu:

• Entamanu is the only place in the world where you can simultaneously look out over the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti plains. This dual view offers an awe-inspiring sense of place, connecting guests to two of Africa’s most iconic landscapes from one single location.

• A stay at Entamanu goes beyond luxury and wildlife. Guests have the rare opportunity to engage with the Maasai, one of Africa’s indigenous tribal groups, in their natural setting. From visits to local bomas (traditional Maasai homesteads) to learning about warrior ceremonies and pastoral traditions, the experience provides an authentic glimpse into Maasai life. These interactions are private and intimate, offering meaningful insights into a culture that has coexisted with nature for centuries.

• Entamanu is deeply involved in conservation efforts in the Ngorongoro Highlands, working alongside the local Maasai community to protect both wildlife and their way of life. The camp supports the “Illchokuti” lion guardians, who work to mitigate human-wildlife conflict and educate communities on the importance of lion conservation. Additionally, Entamanu runs programs to engage local youth, teaching them about wildlife behavior and fostering a sense of stewardship for the natural environment.
