Lion's Paw Camp
Lion's Paw Camp
This luxury retreat offers quick access to the wildlife on the Crater floor.
Tucked deep inside a magical forest on the misty precipice of an extinct volcano is one of the most delightful safari camps you’ll find anywhere and is our top lodging pick on the rim of the Crater. This venue is all about location and is one of only two camps located inside the Ngorongoro Crater park gate, a major perk for those safari enthusiasts who want to be the FIRST vehicle in the Crater at dawn!

It’s obvious the camp was constructed carefully and with deliberate intent to minimize any trace of human interference with the pristine natural setting; those constructing the Camp went well out of their way to build infrastructure ‘around’ the environment rather than through it, as evidenced by the twisting walkway that goes around each tree, bush and rock in a completely unobtrusive way. Even the broken twigs and fallen timbers, likely knocked over ages ago by passing elephants, have been left undisturbed by the Camp as the guest walkway goes around each one rather than having had the dead limbs removed.
