Pakulala Safari Camp - Ngorongoro

Location Staff

Cold Terrible, unsafe safari from East Africa Camps

The camp sits at an enviable location, with an amazing view of the crater. The staff received us very eloquently and our tent was very posh.

In my view, a little overpriced. Still a tented camp.

Undeniably there is a reason for the praises! Margaret is the ultimate hostess, managing a wonderful and dedicated team. Ngorogoro Caldera View is Kweli Kabisa absolutely true! Punda Malia Zebra wandering about camp, within the park, the park stepping out of your tent!!! Ngorogoro Caldera soooo close. Official entry to the park previously permitted, lovely lunch box Big 5

On arriving, the scenery was very impressive with views over the crater and the camp appeared as advertised

The toilet in our room did not work. We advised staff of this and it was not fixed. Unfortunately during the stay I became very sick and the combination of this with no working toilet or running water was a horrific experience. The other issue was that we were told not to leave our tent at night without assistance from a camp guard as it is very dangerous with animals roaming in the area, we were assured they would be available 24h. There were no guards around throughout the night I was sick and my husband had to go and get water from the main tent which could have potentially been very dangerous.

The camp is located right on the Crater Rim with beautiful views of Ngorongoro Crater. Ideal for an early start into a Ngorongoro Crater Safari. We had a lovely stay: Margaret did all in her possibility to make our stay beautiful & special - from coffee & snacks, to placing a hot-water-bottle into our beds before going to sleep, to organizing us a Ranger to accompany us on our Crater Safari. Isreal was also very funny & friendly and served us during meals. All food was really delicious - especially dinners. The lunch box was also delicious - one of the nicest we had. We can really recommend this place and had lovely stay.

Reservations staff was not very helpful & friendly. Value-for-money could be a little better. The camp is very expensive, although the tents are rather simple & not as luxurious as other camps running in similar price ranges. Overall would stay here again though.

We arrived here at the end of a particularly busy safari day. This place was above and beyond what was expected and the breathtaking view from it makes this site very impressive. At night, antelopes appeared near our tent and the experience was perfect.

Great location with views into the crater. Friendly helpful staff, good food.
