In the heart of the Ngorongoro protected area in northern Tanzania, Olduvai Camp rises discreetly around a kopje – an immense granite rock that seems to rest on the horizon. Just a stone’s throw from the mythical Olduvai Gorge, between the vast plains of the Serengeti and the slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater, This singular camp welcomes you where nature still tells the story of the origins of the world and humankind.
Here, people and wildlife have always coexisted. The Maasai live there in harmony with the ancestral rhythm of their herds. And you, traveler, are invited to slow down, observe, and recharge.
Each thatched-roof tent blends canvas, wood and natural materials in a sober elegance, where modern comforts never betray the soul of the bush: large bedroom, dressing room, private bathroom with 24-hour solar hot water, flush toilet, private terrace.
The interior draws its inspiration from the colors of the savannah: soft ochres, beiges, faded greens… each tent exudes a unique atmosphere. At night, we fall asleep with it,the wind in the acacia treetops and the distant sounds of wildlife.
The common areas are integrated into the kopje rock, under an impressive thatched roof. A convivial bar, a central restaurant for 40 guests, a perched lounge and a small restaurant on the side of the rock for more intimate groups: every nook and cranny invites contemplation.
Built around a natural kopje, Olduvai Camp blends elegantly into its surroundings. The 17 spacious, comfortable thatched tents are set on stone platforms with uninterrupted views over the savannah. Each has a large bedroom, en-suite bathroom and terrace for game viewing.
The entire camp runs on solar energy, from electricity to hot water. No single-use plastics are used.
The common areas are nestled in the rock, beneath impressive thatched roofs. Two restaurants – one central and one more intimate – welcome you at mealtimes, while a panoramic bar and a lounge perched in the rocks invite you to relax and share, facing the infinite plains.
