Lemala Osonjoi

Lemala Osonjoi

Set within the spectacular Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lemala Osonjoi Lodge enjoys a privileged location near Lemala Gate, offering a more gradual, gentle access to the crater floor with exceptional wildlife viewing along the way. The Ngorongoro Crater—the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera—and its surrounding highlands are celebrated as one of Africa’s most rewarding safari destinations, renowned for abundant wildlife and breathtaking scenery. Positioned on the quieter eastern rim, the lodge offers a more exclusive safari experience, particularly during the early morning and late afternoon hours when wildlife activity is at its peak.

Designed for comfort and beauty, the lodge’s striking main area features an inviting lounge and bar, an outdoor viewing deck centered around a crackling fire, and access to an indoor heated swimming pool—a refreshing retreat after a day on safari.

Room Information

The suites at Lemala Osonjoi Lodge are among the most spacious and airy in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, thoughtfully designed to balance privacy, comfort, and immersion in nature. Available in both one- and two-bedroom configurations, each suite is generously spaced to ensure seclusion and tranquility.

Inside each suite is an oversized bed, a spacious lounge, and a generous bathroom featuring a double vanity, indoor shower, and freestanding bathtub. A charming “secret” nook—a custom-designed daybed—offers an inviting retreat for quiet moments between safari experiences.

Expansive picture windows frame stunning views over the surrounding forest just back from the crater rim, welcoming in the Ngorongoro Highland's natural light and creating a warm and cozy haven.

Things To Do

At Lemala Osonjoi Lodge, experiences are thoughtfully timed to make the most of the region’s extraordinary wildlife and landscapes. Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater in the early morning and late afternoon, when game viewing is at its most rewarding. 

For a deeper connection to the surroundings, guided walks along the crater rim and into the forest are led by an armed ranger alongside a knowledgeable Maasai guide, offering insight into the area’s ecology and culture.

Tucked among the trees, a dedicated spa suite provides a secluded retreat, where expert therapists deliver restorative treatments designed to enhance wellbeing, relax, and unwind in the peaceful forest setting.
