Lemala Osonjoi Lodge

Lemala Osonjoi Lodge is located near the intact volcanic caldera Ngorongoro Crater, offering a unique base camp for exploring East Africa's majestic highlands. The crater, categorized as one of Africa's Seven Natural Wonders, can be experienced on a guided nature walk. As you walk along the rim of this ancient caldera, you'll witness its ecological significance, as its seasonal green vegetation sustains a phenomenal concentration of wildlife.

Osonjoi Lodge offers an authentic Tanzania safari experience in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You'll explore the region’s diverse natural landscapes, ranging from open plains and grasslands to dense forests and wetlands. This epic biodiversity is contained within 102 square miles of protected wilderness. Every corner of the conservancy teems with wildlife, including a remarkable density of the Big Five and plains game.

Lemala Osonjoi is a year-round safari destination, with wildlife sightings that vary with the seasons. During Tanzania's rainy period, from March to May, eland and buffalo are drawn to the lush vegetation—a dramatic sight enhanced by thunderous clouds and the scent of wet soil. In the drier months, from November to January, clear skies and light morning mist create a mythical scene, as herds of zebra and wildebeest dot the highlands.
