Our family of 8 stayed for 2 nights at Lions Paw and had a great time. We were about 15 minutes from the Crater floor and it’s worth going early since you have a good chance of being alone. Overall, a great place and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Ngorongoro Lions Paw Camp offered me an unmatchable blend of adventure and tranquility, an experience that goes far beyond your usual luxury stay. Nestled in the unique ecosystem of the Ngorongoro Crater, the camp is a hidden gem in Tanzania.

The views, the rooms and the staff are absolutely fantastic. We spent the last evening of our safari here and were so happy to get the chance to stay here. Strongly recommended place with all luxury you can think of.
