Simba A Public Campsite – Ngorongoro

Simba A Public Campsite – Ngorongoro

Simba A Public Campsite is a designated public campsite on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It offers an authentic and affordable camping experience surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of the Ngorongoro highlands. The campsite provides basic shared facilities and is an ideal overnight base for travelers preparing for an early descent into the Ngorongoro Crater. Staying here allows guests to experience the natural atmosphere of the conservation area while remaining close to one of Tanzania’s most remarkable wildlife destinations. From Simba A, guests can enjoy spectacular highland scenery before descending into the crater for a private game drive. The crater is renowned for its diverse wildlife, with opportunities to see lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, gazelles and, with some luck, the endangered black rhinoceros. As a public campsite, facilities are simple and shared, making Simba A particularly suitable for travelers seeking an authentic budget camping experience rather than lodge-style accommodation.
