Welcome to Ngorongoro Wild Camp
Where Highlands Majesty Meets Untamed Wilderness
Perched on the edge of the breathtaking Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Ngorongoro Wild Camp invites you to experience the magic of Tanzania’s northern highlands. With sweeping views of the surrounding forested hills and easy access to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, our camp offers an unforgettable blend of natural beauty, wildlife encounters, and warm East African hospitality.
Here, the pace slows to match the rhythm of nature. Wake up to mist rising through the acacia trees, the songs of birds echoing in the morning light, and the promise of adventure in every direction. Whether you’re descending into the wildlife-rich crater or visiting nearby Maasai communities, each day brings a new connection to the land and its people.
Our spacious canvas tents and cottages are designed with comfort and authenticity in mind. Each features cozy beds, solar-powered lighting, private en-suite bathrooms with hot showers, and a veranda where you can soak in the views and serenity of the highlands.
In the evening, gather around the fire as the air cools and the stars emerge above. Enjoy hearty, home-cooked meals in our inviting dining area, crafted with fresh, local ingredients and served with genuine Tanzanian warmth. Whether you’re swapping safari stories or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, the camp is a place to feel grounded, inspired, and at home.
At Ngorongoro Wild Camp, we are proud to be eco-conscious and community-focused. From supporting local initiatives to protecting the delicate ecosystems of the crater and beyond, we’re committed to sharing this incredible land in a way that sustains its beauty for generations to come.

Would like to use them again.
KATJAJENI2024-02-15Uforgetable safari 5/5 We had been communicating on Whatsapp from my home country. They prepared various options at my request and were very responsive and kind. After arriving in Arusha, they picked us up at our hotel and left us at Kilimanjaro Airport as per our request. The safari was amazing! The lodges exceeded expectations, and the food there was also nice. The tour guide was so kind and fun, making the experience truly enjoyable. We saw all the Big Five and many other animals! It was an unforgettable experience!
Eva L2024-02-14Best safari It was great traveling with kilipath African safaris. They were amazing. My friend was unfortunately sick most of the safari, but the staff was very understanding and helped us a lot! Plus the food was so so delicious
Baasit K2024-02-07Words cannot explain how amazing this experience is Lovely/amazing/once in a life time/crazy/incredible… words cannot justify the experience that we have had with this tour, a gentleman called felix is who we booked our safari with and he picked us up personally from the airport and took us to our first hotel for the night in arush he was lovely and very kid hearted and hospitable, our driver was also very nice and very educated and alert to make sure we didn’t miss out on any of the amazing animals… and we saw lots, antelope/zebras/wild beasts/lions/rhinos/elephants/giraffes just to name a few… the camp site looked amazing however we had booked tented lodges before hand and regretted it incredibly when we had seen the camp sites but non the less the tented camps were also amazing, the food was incredible both on the safari and in the lodges and it was nice to have picnics with the group, I would 10000% advise you to book with these guys as just a recommendation is not enough, I hope to be back in the near future and will be booking with these guys again :)
Haleema H2024-02-07The best experience of my life This tour was absolutely amazing!! Our guide felix was absolutely amazing he made us super happy. The experience was far better than we thought and we got to see all big 5 and the migration of the zebras and wildbeast.
Allyson Phillip2024-01-30Amazing Day To Climbing Mountain Kilimanjaro My husband and I reserved a one-day hike to Mandara Hut on Kilimanjaro with our guide, Mr. Joel. He picked us up from the hotel at 6 am and returned us by 8 pm. Mr. Joel ensured our comfort throughout the day, attending to all our needs during the hike. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro trek.
