Empakaai Campsite is a “special campsite” located on the rim of Empakaai Crater within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This isolated and unfenced site offers a unique wilderness Tanzania camping experience far from main tourist routes, with stunning panoramic views of the crater lake, often hosting thousands of flamingos.
The peaceful highlands provide cool temperatures and opportunities for wildlife sightings, ideal for adventurous hikers seeking immersion in nature during their Tanzania camping safari.
At Empakaai Campsite, tents are provided and pitched by the safari chef and team, including basic sleeping arrangements such as foam mattresses and sleeping bags to ensure comfort during Tanzania camping.
Mobile toilets are used and regularly maintained; however, firewood and campfires are not allowed and references to open fires for hot water should be adjusted accordingly. An armed ranger accompanies groups for safety in this unfenced Tanzania camping environment.
Meals at Empakaai Campsite are freshly prepared by the safari chef using portable kitchen equipment. Guests enjoy hot, nutritious dishes communally, creating a warm dining experience under starry skies.
In addition, hot drinks and bottled water are provided, and special dietary needs can often be accommodated with prior notice, comfortable for Tanzania camping guests.
