Bush camp

Ngorongoro Simba Campsite is a large public campsite situated on the south-western rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, about 2 km from the crater village. This campsite offers stunning views of the crater and is a great base for exploring the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Facilities include well-maintained toilets and hot water showers heated by wood fires.

The campsite is not fenced, so guests should move with caution as wildlife from the crater and surrounding areas frequently visit. It can get quite cold, especially at night, so warm clothing is essential. The campsite is close to several lodges, allowing guests to visit lodge bars and restaurants in the evening
