Relocate to tranquility with Ang’ata Ngorongoro, now set at Nyati Special Campsite on the southeastern rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, at an elevation of 2310 meters. This tented camp is a gem for those desiring an authentic safari experience with a touch of exclusivity, enveloped by the lush, calming forest of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The move from Acacia to Nyati has only enhanced its allure, providing guests with an even more intimate connection to the landscape.

Ang’ata Ngorongoro is designed for those who appreciate the beauty of small things – from the chirping of birds to the rustle of leaves, all experienced in a camp that hosts only 8 tents. This includes a unique family unit for those traveling with children or in groups. Each tent is equipped with an en-suite bathroom, offering showers, vanity desks, and flush toilets, ensuring comfort is never compromised for the sake of wilderness.

The camp fosters a community atmosphere, with a lounge area where guests can mingle, share safari tales, and enjoy complimentary Tanzanian coffee or tea. Meals are served in a dedicated dining tent, where our chefs showcase their culinary skills with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. The evening campfire, known locally as “Bush TV,” is where the day ends, under the stars, with stories and laughter.
