Entamanu occupies a remote stretch of the north-western Ngorongoro Crater rim, away from the cluster of lodges on the southern rim. Rooms are timber, glass and stretched canvas on raised platforms, with heating for the cold rim nights and en-suite bathrooms. The position on a narrow part of the rim means views fall away on both sides — into the crater on one, and out across the highlands towards the Serengeti plains on the other. Two rooms are family units. A separate small camp, Entamanu Private, operates alongside for exclusive-use groups.
What sets it apart
Its position on the remote north-western rim gives views both down into the crater and outward toward the Serengeti, unlike the southern-rim lodges.
Who it suits
Ngorongoro Crater days without the southern-rim crowding; families and small exclusive-use groups.
The essentials
| Country | Tanzania |
| Where | North-western rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, Ngorongoro Conservation Area |
| Property type | lodge (canvas-and-timber rooms) |
| Rooms | unverified — sources disagree. Go2Africa states six suites; Expert Africa states seven cottage-style rooms; the operator also runs a separate four-room Entamanu Private alongside it following a 2024 rebuild. The official page could not be loaded to settle the figure. |
What it costs
No rate is published on the property's own site. Third-party reseller range only, not an official published rate: €1,105–€1,940 per person sharing per https://www.go2africa.com/accommodation/entamanu-ngorongoro, as listed September 2026.
A reseller's range tells you the bracket, not the price you would pay. We show it because it is the only public figure that exists, and we label it rather than present it as the property's own.
About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs of African bush and desert country, chosen to suggest the kind of landscape you find around the Ngorongoro Crater rim, Tanzania. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had been there. For pictures of the rooms, and of the view they actually look out on, see the property's own site.
