Incredible stay in a breathtaking place One of our favorites from this stay, and probably the most amazing place I have ever stayed in my life. Nestled between the still-active volcano and Lake Natron, the 4.5 hours of dirt road from Arusha is worth it without any hesitation. The establishment recently suffered from a storm, which affected some of the tents. We were therefore only 4 tents at the time of our stay, which further enhances the privilege of accessing such a level of immersion ...

Fabulous This camp is located in a very difficult place to access during the rainy season because of flooded roads, but it is a magical place! You are in the middle of nowhere facing a salt lake, flamingos and other birds as far as the eye can see... an incredible atmosphere. The wait we occupied was very comfortable but simple. The staff is very attentive and attentive. The meals are simple but delicious. We are very happy to have discovered this place totally cut off from the world. For those looking for calm, this is the perfect place.
