Lake Masek Tented Lodge
Overlooking Lake Masek in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Masek Luxury Tented Camp is a superb accommodation option for exploring the game-rich surrounds. From your vantage point take in Big 5 game viewing and the magnificent spectacle of the Great Migration, from December to April. The camp holds strong eco-principles and uses only biodegradable products, solar power for electricity and water collected during the rainy season.
Built on raised wooden platforms, the 30 luxury tents found at the camp are spacious and the perfect base from which to explore. Watch wildlife pass by and visit Lake Masek from your private veranda or relax inside with pleasant interiors. The camp's central hub consists of a large verandah area that offers impressive views of the lake, a lounge, an indoor and outdoor dining room and a swimming pool. In the evening a campfire is lit and you can enjoy a cocktail whilst watching the sun go down.

"Out of migration season, the area is quieter. Due to its location, there's the opportunity to drive off-road and it's well located en route to or from the central and northern Serengeti."

Holiday to Lake Masek Tented Lodge
Awesome stay. Very beautiful location! Watched the hippos and elephants in the lake and a lion walked through camp one night. The tents were perfect (if you can call them tents ~ they were beautiful). Food and service were outstanding!
