| CRATER FOREST TENTED CAMP - KARATU - TANZANIA |
|---|
This is a beautiful tented camp at the edge of the Ngorongoro Tropical Forest. Enjoy romantic sundowners or twilight dinners on your veranda with the astonishing landscape views of the dense forest. Watch wildlife, like elephants, roaming through the forest, hear the lions roar and listen to the magical sounds of the tropical night. It will be an unforgettable experience.The land immediately surrounding the lodge is being restored to some of its natural forest habitat, with the camp management overseeing the conversion from crop cultivation to regeneration of indigenous groundcover, helping the change along by reintroducing around the camp trees and shrubs natural to the area.

Location
The camp is set a 10 kilometer scenic drive away from the main road leading from the bustling commercial centre of Karatu town to the famous Ngorongoro Crater. Established on a highland coffee plantation called Kirin Coffee Estate, altitude 1,800 m above sea-level, the camp occupies previously cultivated fields directly bordering Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area (NCAA).
Accommodation
Forest Crater is operated as an eco-friendly small scale camp with 15 luxury tented rooms under thatch stylishly furnished, all on platforms with magnificent views over the Ngorongoro Forest. The rooms are spacious and all have en suite bathrooms with hot showers and flush toilets. For those chilly upland nights enjoy the warmth of your own African-style firepot. Wake up to the sounds of the awakening forest as a night full of nocturnal wildlife activities gives away to mistily rising sunlight. Complementary coffee and tea are served on your veranda in the morning.
