Your private highland retreat overlooking the Ngorongoro crater

There is surely no truer way to appreciate the magnitude and wonder of the Ngorongoro Crater, than from Entamanu Private where it's done entirely on your own terms and schedules. A highland retreat designed to be removable with minimal impact on this precious place, this is your exclusive Crater experience.

Locally designed, thoughtfully put together. Your home away from home on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater.

Enhancing lives at Entamanu Private

From enhancing dynamic careers to working with local communities and conservation projects, here are some inspiring stories from Entamanu, Ngorongoro.

Health & wellbeing

Beds for Meds

Spotlight on Ebenezer

Meet Ebenezer and his mum, Maria, who live in a remote community in the Ngorongoro Highlands. Ebenezer was identified as a candidate for surgery on a Nomad health outreach trip from Entamanu.

Illchokuti – our lion guardian

Human-wildlife conflict is a huge challenge in the Ngorongoro Highlands. The Maasai have lived alongside wildlife for decades, but as human populations increase, so the conflicts and pressure mount.

We support our local ‘Illchokuti’ (lion guardian) called Rumas. His role is a vital one. He moves around local villages to report sightings and conflict so the KopeLion team can intervene if necessary. He also educates these communities on the value of protecting the lion population, and importantly on ways in which they protect their livestock

Conservation & environment

Sharing our love of the natural world

Ngorongoro student safaris

It is through 'student safaris' that we try to educate youth on wildlife behaviour, developing an understanding of animal behaviour so that children can be better equipped to avoid risks, and understand the amazing qualities these creatures have too. We hope that these future generations will be ambassadors for co-existence, and local conservation efforts.

Life long learning & growth

Creating career paths

Nomad honey project

There's no end to the talents of Yohanna, a member of our Entamanu Ngorongoro team. He's a local Maasai who was a watchman but now acts as village liaison, drives the tractor that fixes our road, steps in as housekeeper and staff cook... and he's just harvested his first batch of honey from the Nomad beehives at Entamanu Private. We're buying it off him to use in camp - and it's absolutely delicious.

Northern Tanzania safaris

Our Northern Tanzania camps are in enviable locations that mean we can take you deeper into this epic wilderness and create life changing experiences.

Dream Trip with Nomad

Our trip with Nomad was better than we ever dreamed it would be. The camps were so comfortable, the staff so friendly and helpful and the guide so knowledgeable. We saw everything we had hoped for and more. Thank you Nomad. We will be back
