“Did what it offered very well.”
Pakulala was the least expensive accommodation on the craters rim and did what it offered well. It gets very cold at night and the provided hot water bottle ensured a good nights sleep. The bucket shower system provide sufficient water for a good shower.

Very clean and well-kept facility. High-quality tents with details of the interior design. The view of the caldere is amazing, also in the sunshine. All staff very helpful, especially Mrs. Margaret. The food served on the plates was tasty, alcoholic drinks also available. At night the temperature dropped quite low and hot water bottles were waiting for us in our bed. We were very refreshed with the time spent there.

“Very nice camp on the Crater rim with lovely staff & good food”
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.

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.
