Lake Masek Tented Lodge

Sunset views over a resident hippo pool, on the shores of Lake Masek — with Big 5 game year-round.

THE LODGE

Privacy, luxury, and primitive beauty on Lake Masek's shore.

The Lake Masek Luxury Tented Camp overlooks Lake Masek, with spectacular sunsets over a resident hippo pool. It is open year-round, but is most appealing during the wildebeest calving season, when the surrounding plains fill with life. Resident Big 5 game can be seen here throughout the year.

This exclusive lodge is distinguished by privacy, luxury, comfort, and the primitive beauty of its natural surroundings — a base within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area that puts both the crater highlands and the open plains within easy reach.

LIFE AT LAKE MASEK

Where the plains meet the water's edge.

Lake Masek sits at the edge of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where the crater highlands give way to open plains. Days here move between crater visits and quiet hours on the lodge’s own lakeshore.

Sunset Over the Hippo Pool

Watch the resident pod as the sky turns gold over Lake Masek — one of the most photographed views in Ngorongoro.

Resident Big 5

Lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino territory overlaps the lodge grounds, seen here year-round rather than only in season.

Privacy & Primitive Beauty

Set apart from the crowds drawn to the crater rim, the camp keeps its comforts understated and its surroundings wild.
