Why we use this property

Why we put guests here

Ngorongoro Lion's Paw is the first Ngorongoro night of our 7-Day Great Migration Luxury Safari, a Karibu Camps & Lodges camp in the Lemala area on the eastern rim of Ngorongoro Crater, about ten minutes from the crater entrance, so you can be among the first down at dawn. The lounge, bar and dining room look across the crater towards Lake Magadi, and from the bar you can scan the floor for elephants and black rhino through binoculars. The suites come as double, twin, family and honeymoon rooms, furnished by Tanzanian craftspeople and framed on the crater. The kitchen cooks with fresh local produce and serves bush dinners under the stars as well as in-room dining. Arusha is about three hours and 190 km away by road.
