LOCATION: 
The camp is located on the eastern shore of Lake Eyasi. It's about 3 ½ hours drive from Arusha or a couple of hours from Karatu.This small, tented camp is a great example of a well-run, owner-operated camp. It's set in the shade of a grove of doum palms, on the eastern shore of Lake Eyasi, with magnificent views across the soda lake to the 3000 ft escarpment on the other side. To the north are the Ngorongoro Highlands with Lemagrut and Ol Deani mountains (both extinct volcanoes and close to 10,000 ft) in the foreground. Scenically, this area is stunning.

NUMBER OF ROOMS & DESCRIPTION:
The camp itself consists of six guest sleeping tents built on permanent platforms and a large dining tent. All these are thatched with traditional palm fronds and the ensuite bathroom section is built with natural palm stems, giving it a rustic appearance. There is hot and cold running water supplied by a spring and heated through environmentally friendly “kuni boilers” that burn dry palm fronds that have fallen from the trees. Toilets are flush type and there is a proper septic system in place. Furniture and bedding is comfortable and in keeping with traditional safari style. Lighting is supplied by inverter and generator and is of the energy saving type. From all tents there is a beautiful view of the lake.

RESTAURANTS & BAR:
With young enthusiastic hosts, the highest standards of service, and excellent food served 'al fresco' under a star studded African sky, Kisima Ngeda is perfect for an unforgettable few nights off the beaten track.

OTHER FACILITIES & SERVICES:
Nature and its beauty is only one of the reasons to visit this remote area. There is a little known cultural aspect that has drawn small numbers of discerning travelers for many years. The waHadzabe are the last remnants of a tribe of hunter gatherers that were pushed out of the Ngorongoro Crater and surrounding conservation area hundreds of years ago by incoming pastoralist groups, including the Maasai. Moving slowly down the foothills of Oldeani and along the lakeshore, this group of people is one of the last of its kind in Africa. Small in stature and speaking an ancient click dialect they survive by their ability to blend into and subsist through their surroundings. A visit with them can be arranged and a morning or full day spent walking, hunting and gathering is a haunting experience.
