Tanzania Safari Tours & Africa Adventures
📍 SW crater rim
Simba Public Campsite tanzania is the best-known public camping site inside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, positioned directly on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Unlike the area’s special campsites, Simba A is a shared public campsite and provides permanent communal facilities for travellers undertaking budget and adventure camping safaris. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority identifies Simba A as the area’s main public campsite and confirms facilities including hot showers, public washrooms, kitchen facilities, dining halls, electricity and Wi-Fi.
Its location is the real attraction. Spending the night on the crater rim puts travellers in an excellent position for an early start into Ngorongoro Crater the following morning, while also providing a genuine camping experience in one of northern Tanzania’s most remarkable landscapes.
