Kisima Ngeda Tented Camp

Lake Eyasi, Tanzania

Mango Opinion

This family run tented camp is simple and all of the tents have great views of Lake Eyasi. A stay here affords you the opportunity to visit with the Wahadzabe people - a tribe of hunter gatherers that still speak in ancient click dialect. If you are not pretty fit, the bumpy access road and hiking activities can be strenuous.

Located on the shores of Lake Eyasi, offers stunning views over the seasonal soda lake looking up to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area on the one side and across to the Alipi escarpment on the other, one can enjoy the spectacular landscape as well as experience the daily life of the last few remaining hunter/gatherers the Hadza as well as their pastoralist nomadic counterparts the Barbaig.

Kisima Ngeda is a stylish camp that includes amazing cultural interaction opportunities, along with plenty of activities. Spending a day with the Hadza, hunter-gatherers that speak a historical language of the continent, enables a journey back into the past.

There are 7 spacious tents with private verandahs overlooking the lake. The lounge area is a perfect place to relax before dinner or take a dip in the pool after a long day. Intimate dining overlooking Lake Eyasi. Kisima Ngeda’s décor draws on elements from the surrounding landscape and incorporates elements of traditional Hadza culture.

A melting pot of culture, Kisima Ngeda offers a different experience from what you’ll find on a traditional safari. Here, you can actually get out of the car — you can explore the trails around the lake, canoe along the shore, walk through nearby tribal villages, or just sit and enjoy the beautiful lake views, especially at sunset on top of the rock.
