Is the Lemala Osonjoi Lodge for Me?

Located near the Lemala Gate, Lemala Osonjoi Lodge provides swift access to Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater floor while feeling secluded within its forested setting. The lodge is medium in size, with spacious suites styled for warmth and comfort, complete with wood-burning stoves and soft duvets to ward off the cool highland air.

The central area includes an inviting lounge, bar, and outdoor deck with a fire, as well as an indoor heated pool to relax between safaris. Dining is flexible, with the option of a private catered lunch on the crater floor—perfect for those wishing to extend their game drives through the day.

Early mornings see you out on safari from as early as 6:00 AM, with abundant wildlife just 15 minutes away. The lodge’s position on the eastern quadrant of the crater allows you to experience prime wildlife viewing at quieter times, while guided walks along the rim provide a different perspective of this remarkable landscape.

Lemala Osonjoi Lodge combines comfort with access to one of Africa’s most iconic destinations, making it well-suited to couples, families, and first-time safari-goers eager for a balance of relaxation and adventure.
