Beat the Dawn, Own the Crater:
Wake before sunrise at Lemala Ngorongoro and experience the ultimate safari advantage! By 6:15am, you're descending our exclusive eastern crater access road while other lodges are still preparing breakfast. Within 15 minutes, you're on the legendary crater floor in magical golden light – first to witness lions prowling, elephants emerging from the mist, and hippos yawning in the morning glow.
Here's the insider secret: with only one entry point and hefty re-entry fees, the crater demands a full-day commitment for maximum value. But don't worry – we've perfected this experience!
Morning brings incredible wildlife photography opportunities as predators hunt and prey animals graze in perfect light. As the day warms, enjoy your picnic lunch at the scenic hippo pool or upgrade to our exclusive private hot lunch – a fully catered gourmet meal served al fresco on the crater floor with pristine white linens and crystal glasses, making you feel like African royalty.
While other visitors rush to exit by 6pm, you can linger until the very last moment, capturing spectacular sunset wildlife encounters that most never witness. Your proximity advantage means a quick 15-minute drive home to camp for sundowners and dinner.
During your stay, you will enjoy nightly sundowners around the campfire in front of the main lounge. Sundowners are more than just a happy hour. They are a very cherished African tradition and form an integral part of your safari experience. This special time provides an opportunity to relax, reminisce about the day gone by, enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine around the campfire with fellow travellers all while watching the sunset.

Discover the living heart of Maasai tradition with an unforgettable visit to the nearby Irkepushi Cultural Boma, where authentic tribal life continues as it has for centuries in the shadow of the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater.
Step into a world where time stands still as colorfully adorned Maasai warriors and women welcome you with traditional songs and the iconic "adumu" jumping dance. Feel the earth vibrate beneath your feet as warriors leap skyward in displays of strength and grace that have captivated visitors for generations.
Explore traditional "manyatta" huts constructed entirely from natural materials, witness age-old customs of cattle herding that define Maasai identity, and learn about fascinating traditions from community elders eager to share their rich cultural knowledge.

Lemala Ewanjan Tented Camp | Central Serengeti
Lemala Ewanjan is an authentic intimate tented camp set in a secluded part of the game-rich Seronera Valley in Central Serengeti. The Seronera region is an important wildlife transition zone between the southern grasslands and the northern woodlands and is renowned for its year-round game viewing due to its abundance of water in the many rivers, as well as for its large populations of resident big cats. Additionally, between April and June, and again between November and January, this area is crossed by the annual wildebeest migration, which provides always thrilling wildlife drama.
We have carefully positioned Lemala Ewanjan right at the end of a blind valley, so other vehicles will not interrupt your view across the plains during the day, and in the evening, you can enjoy uninterrupted sunsets with no electric lights in sight.
