Location can make or break a safari. Lions Paw Camp has an enviable site on the eastern rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, only about a 10-minute drive from the entrance gate. This allows you to be among the first to arrive in the morning and the last to leave in the afternoon, maximising your precious time in this incredible wildlife paradise. Back at camp, your safari continues as you scan the crater floor and Lake Magadi with your binoculars for elephant and black rhino from the comfort of your private deck.

The rest of the camp is equally well set up with sturdy tents and huge sunny decks around the main areas where you can read, sketch, nap and just unwind.
