Views don\u2019t get better than this. Perched on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti Plains, consciously-crafted Entamanu is the only camp in the region where you can take in panoramic views of both bucket-list safari regions in one stay. As the morning mist lifts, you\u2019ll witness distant elephant, wildebeest, zebra, and buffalo begin their day on the vast, sun-scorched caldera floor. In the evenings, you\u2019ll see the sun setting over the Serengeti, turning the sky a vivid shade of orange. This Nomad camp is small and secluded, which creates a lovely, intimate atmosphere. We adore it \u2013 and so will you. <\/p>\n
Location, location, location \u2013 it\u2019s hard to imagine a better, or more dramatic spot in Northern Tanzania than this. You\u2019ll be sleeping on the remote northwestern edge of the largest caldera in the world, a natural amphitheatre of wildlife and UNESCO World Heritage Site. It almost \u2013 almost \u2013 overshadows the world-famous Serengeti, which stretches westward from the luxury tented camp. The location, close to a local Masaai village, means you\u2019ll have the opportunity to learn about Masaai culture, with authentic and meaningful interactions with the families who live there.<\/p>\n
Verandah with a view? You\u2019ll find it here. Accommodation is split across two camps \u2013 Entamanu (with 10 cottages) and Entamanu Private (with three cottages). Each one is crafted with wood, glass, and stretched canvas, and positioned in the shade of acacia trees.
\nInside all the rooms, the design feels relaxed, leaning into a boho-chic aesthetic, with rattan lampshades, bleached wooden furniture and cream armchairs, plus locally sourced textiles including sheepskin throws and rust-red linen cushions. There are private bathrooms in all of the rooms, and comfy, spacious living spaces that are a particularly nice touch for the two-bedroom family cottages. <\/p>\n
Entamanu Private is also perfect for those families or groups of friends seeking undisturbed time together \u2013 it comes with dedicated staff and dining areas, and your stay is enjoyed entirely on your terms and schedules.<\/p>\n
This is a place for anyone seeking a quiet, secluded stay with a feeling of being pretty isolated \u2013 in the best possible way. Private vehicles for game drives come as standard, so there are endless special opportunities to connect and chat with your family, friends or partner, both during your game drives, over private picnics, and in camp. The four-bedroom residence is the perfect choice for larger groups of friends or multi-generational trips, particularly those celebrating big occasions. Dining in the main camp is a communal affair, but you can request private meals if you prefer.<\/p>\n
There are bigger, glitzier places to stay around the Ngorongoro Crater, but we love Entamanu for its relaxed atmosphere and style. It\u2019s hard to beat the remote location, with views that will go some way to help you grasp the magnitude of the crater below (and you\u2019ll descend into the caldera before most other vehicles arrive). Private guides will give you incredible insight into Maasai traditions, and Maasai scouts will take you on highland walks, sharing stories with you as you go. There are simple touches that we like, too \u2013 not just being woken for your morning game drive, for instance, but also being left a large cafetiere of rich, dark Tanzanian coffee. Just what you need to fire you up for your day in the crater.<\/p>\n
This is a Nomad camp \u2013 a safari brand that\u2019s committed to conservation. Local artisans have created everything on site, from textiles to furniture, while sustainable building practices make sure the structure treads lightly on the landscape. As you\u2019d expect, the Nomad conservation philosophy also focuses on wildlife protection \u2013 through their Lion Guardian Program, for example, they sponsor a local leader, who works with communities to report on lion sightings, helping to protect predators and the locals\u2019 livestock. Entamanu’s educational \u2018student safaris\u2019 work hard to engage local youth in conservation, creating a new generation of advocates who understand the delicate balance between preserving both natural heritage and traditional ways of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
