Set in an ancient acacia forest right by the crater's edge, it sits beside the quiet Lemala access route, giving guests one of the shortest and earliest descents to the crater floor of any property.
An intimate, classic-style tented camp tucked into yellow-bark acacia woodland on the eastern rim, evoking the romance of a traditional mobile safari with proper comfort. Its standout feature is proximity to the Lemala ascent/descent road, which translates into being among the first vehicles onto the crater floor at dawn. A characterful, lower-impact alternative to the large rim lodges.
