Simba Campsite Ngorongoro

Ngorongoro – Accommodation

Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a pioneering experiment in multiple land use. The park serves multiple purposes, integrating the protection of local people with that of wild nature.

The area is part of the Serengeti ecosystem and, to the northwest, adjoins the Serengeti National Park and is contiguous with the southern Serengeti plains.

These plains also extend north into the unprotected Loliondo division and remain open to wildlife through transhumance pastoralism practiced by the Maasai.

The south and west of the area are volcanic highlands, including the famous Ngorongoro Crater and the lesser-known Empakaa Crater.

The southern and eastern boundaries are approximately defined by the rim of the East African Rift Wall, which also prevents animal migration in these directions.

If you plan to visit Ngorongoro or any other destination in Tanzania, there’s no need to worry about where to stay. There are many camps and lodges in and outside the Ngorongoro Crater, ranging from budget and midrange to Luxury.

There are two campsites inside the Ngorongoro Crater: Simba A and Simba B campsite.

Simba A campsite

It is a public campsite within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, located on the Southeastern Side of the crater rim. This camp has two dining areas, two kitchens, and two sets of toilets.

The Simba A campsite is the largest and most useful of the Simba B campsite, as it is closer to the crater and the Loduare gate, where most tourists arrive.

For those planning to visit Olduvai Gorge, there is no long distance from the road. Remember to bring warm clothes because the camp is cold in the morning and at night.

Simba B campsite

It is one of the public campsites in Ngorongoro, located on the South-Eastern rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. This camp is next to an airstrip with an amazing view of the crater.

Anyone who needs to use this camp must make an earlier booking. Simba B is the location of the tented camp, so you can book it there as well.

There are many luxury lodges inside Ngorongoro. It just depends on whether you want a mid-range or a luxury one. Not only lodges but also luxury private camps.

You will always feel at home in the wild! No fear of wild animals, especially during the night hours, and there is enough security at the campsites and lodges.
