Ngorongoro Lion’s Paw nestles in between a grove of acacia trees on the eastern rim of the Ngorongoro crater. Lion’s Paw features 15 spacious ensuite tents on wooden platforms with fixed roofs, four-poster beds with billowing mosquito nets, and thoughtfully positioned windows framing the views. Bathrooms have proper hot showers and marble finishes, whilst heated electric blankets ensure cosy nights. Every tent has its own private deck – perfect for wildlife spotting during siesta time – and the two family suites add extra space and privacy for multigenerational groups.
Being close to the Ngorongoro Crater gate is important when planning any trip into the animal-packed caldera. As it gets busier the later you arrive. Luckily, Ngorongoro Lion’s Paw is all about location. You can be at the gates and trundling down into the crater bowl within 10 minutes. This is possible by setting off with your guide from Lion’s Paw.
